Covering GLAMOUR Magazine Women’s Month issue, the award-winning media personality, Bonang Matheba talks to GLAMOUR’s Editor-In-Chief, Nontando Mposo about her future and Legacy. She also opens up about the highs and lows of her journey to stardom, and the lessons she’s learned on the way.

As one of the most influential Africans on the planet, media goddess Bonang Matheba is known globally for her impact in the South African entertainment industry.

This cover shoot and story was produced at one of Mpumalanga’s majestic destinations, Kruger Shalati, and GLAMOUR got to experience Bonang’s work ethic and quest for excellence during a 15- hour cover shoot. This is what sets Bonang apart and has made her a force to be reckoned with for the past 20 years and her reign continues.

Here are a few excerpts from the interview:

Having reached the 20 year milestone in the industry, what are some of your key takeaways from it and what would you change about it?

Some of my key takeaways are that just like any other industry, consistency, the urge to grow, challenge yourself and the desire to want to elevate and move up in the world are key to longevity. You must also constantly find yourself in places that are uncomfortable; where you will need to learn and grow – that for me is what defines success. For me, success is also really fulfilling my dreams, owning my time and freedom, and to be able to travel around the world and be part of projects representing what I truly love.

You invest a lot in your craft and you work hard and excel in what you do. Where do you get your work ethic from?

I am a workaholic and I get that from my mom Charlotte Mokoena. She is a visual representation of what a hard-working woman is. She started career as a nurse at Baragwanath Hospital and has worked at Telkom, Huletts Sugar, and is now the executive vice-president for human resources and corporate affairs at Sasol. My mom is a representation of doing what it takes to become what you want to be. Any successful person will tell you that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the extra that you put in. We all have 24 hours in a day, and we are all talented but those who take their talent more seriously than the other will be more successful.

What would you like to be remembered for?

I want to be remembered for being a part of positive change in the South African media and business landscape, for creating opportunity and growth for future generations to benefit from. A powerhouse businesswoman who contributed to the elevation of our entertainment industry, both locally and also around the globe. I also want to be remembered by every young African child as the one who showed that it really is possible to be anything you work hard enough to be.
