Tweeples then took these posts as confirmation that Ms Matheba had, in fact, bought the prestigious wine farm with #GirlsWithVineyards trending shortly afterwards.

We can now confirm that the Queen B did, in fact, not buy the wine farm but that she will be spending more time in the wine lands with a new venture.
We reached out to the C.S.A Executive Director David Phillips and he stated that the claims are untrue and that the details on the upcoming venture would be released soon.
“Ms Matheba has not purchased Rust & Vrede, she was purely enjoying lunch at the establishment. However, we can confirm that she will be spending more time in the wine lands in the near future. More details will be revealed soon.”
We'll all have to wait and see what this new venture is going to be.
