What started off as an attempt to troll the 'Being Bonang' star, ended up in a hashtag that celebrates the strength and the slayage that is Bonang Matheba.
On Thursday afternoon, a troll took to the Twitter streets to talk about the number of men that Bonang has been in public relationships with.
Matheba didn't mince her words after a tweep posted: "D’Banj, AKA, Slikour", and she responded with a savage clap back making it clear that she is a grown woman and she can do whatever she wants.
My vagina. My rules. Let’s find another angle baby... this is also tired. Make some effort. You can do it. ❤️ https://t.co/w5L4BPQHUI
— Bonang B* Matheba (@bonang_m) June 7, 2018 Tweeps have come out in full force to remind this troll of what skills and talents that Matheba possesses, reading him for filth in the name of #IAMBonang. Since being dragged by Matheba, the troll swiftly deleted his unsolicited shady tweet. Bonang is a state of mind, a "liberating"state of mind #IAmBonang

Bonang is not an idea, a belief, or a person. Bonang is a mentally, a force, a movement. To Bonang is to reign supreme in everything you do! #IAmBonang✊ pic.twitter.com/Qq4WOiddKi

Because you asked so nicely, I will balance you. Yesterday someone tweeted about the number of men Bonang has been with. She hit back "My vagina, my rules". This started wave of support & #IAmBonang. "talented vagina" tweet is in that context. An affirmation of her ENTIRE being https://t.co/PcEcj3V54M

The #IAmBonang movement has powerful affirmations. It helps restore peace, confidence & self esteem in the lives of women. Women are stepping up, women are stronger now, women are empowered, women are liberated. Women are standing up for themselves. @bonang_m big ups! What a wow.

The support Bonang received made the queen a little emotional.
Wow hey. Today is a lot. Wow. Just wow. 😰😰😰😰😰 https://t.co/kVoLXYXolQ

More importantly, the hashtag has done its bit to remind us all that the social media universe can be as kind as it is vicious as it wants to be, and that shaming women for their choices, particularly their sexual agency, is a dumb move.
