Drama at lunch – Bonang refuses to take photo with Fan and her sister, tells them to go eat their food
A Twitter thread has gone viral after social media users shared their alleged experiences with some of Mzansi celebs, some good and some very funny considering the context.
The apparent experiences were sparked by a screenshot of a fan who recalled a bad encounter with TV personality and media mogul Bonang Matheba. The user, @Helena_sifa_ recalled how Bonang refused to have a picture taken with her and her sister, telling them to eat their lunch.
“I was 22, I went out to lunch. Bonang sat next to me and my sister. We asked for a picture and she said, ‘eat your lunch sweety’. So we ate our lunch.”

However, another user came to Bonang’s defence, saying the star was probably having a bad day, because “sometimes celebrities also need space”.
Are we talking about the same @bonang_m ? Maybe she was having a bad day and sometimes celebrities also need space .She’s always so bubbly… this was us in 2016 New York❤️😍 pic.twitter.com/epK7LxSkZ1

The tweet prompted many reactions, with some also sharing their stories with other celebrities. While most experiences were allegedly bad, some were good.
And if these encounters are anything to go by, Khanyi Mbau, Kwesta and Cassper Nyovest are some of the coolest and nicest people around.
See fans’ experiences below.
I was with a group of friends in London and we bumped into Sam Smith. We were so excited and asked to take pics with him. He sent someone to tell us he's not interested. We even used the "We came all the way from Africa" line , but he didn't care 😂😂😂

In 2016 I was at MTN HQ at a launch, went to Somizi for a pic and he rejected me, I was pregnant and my hormones kicked in, so I cried and wanted to leave, while waiting for hubby by the gate @casspernyovest was leaving, I was scared of another rejection so…
