Things went from bad to worse real quick for Bonang Matheba and her newly launched book titled, Bonang From A to B. Remember the drama that unfolded on social media last week when Mzansi discovered the evident errors and typos in the queen’s book? Well, it appears that the drama continues as Exclusive Books has issued a statement recalling the month old book.
The book selling chain store took to Twitter this afternoon apologised to its customers before informing that dissatisfied buyers of the book could return it for a full refund at any of its stores.
It also adds that the book’s publishers, BlackBird Books is working on a new edition, which will be reviewed by the chain store before it considers stocking it again.
All customers please take note of the following. pic.twitter.com/dFypasaKbx

As expected, Black Twitter had a lot to say about this and views were mixed; some commended the book store for its action, others chastised Bonang while stans stood behind their fave. Take a look:

Wonder who will buy the new edition cause we all know the story now….

It is horrible. They are publicly shaming instead of removing the historically inaccurate & poorly researched non-fiction from shelves

B* is yet to comment on the drama and her former bestie, Somizi has also not said anything since the announcement. Many will remember the massive shade he threw on social media last week when the book’s grammar drama unfolded.
Yah neh! This whole thing Issa big mess guys. Your thoughts?
