The user, @Helena_sifa_ recalled how Bonang refused to have a picture taken with her and her sister, telling them to eat their lunch.
โI 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.โ

However, another user came to Bonang’s defence, saying the star was probably having a bad day, because โsometimes celebrities also need spaceโ.
Are we talking about the same @bonang_m ? Maybe she was having a bad day and sometimes celebrities also need space .Sheโs always so bubbly… this was us in 2016 New Yorkโค๏ธ๐ pic.twitter.com/epK7LxSkZ1

And if these encounters are anything to go by, Khanyi Mbau, Kwesta and Cassper Nyovest are some of the coolest and nicest people around.

This tweet remind me of Stogie , a Rap music guy. That time i was still working for SABC but already had my own company doing great. The guy met me outside then I said there is a business we should meet and discuss , the guy laughed so loud and pride was there then he left.
