Also commenting, Bonang, an on-air personality and owner of Bonang Matheba Entertainment, said hosting an awards ceremony of this magnitude is a great honour and first for her.
“The Channel O Music Video Awards will be broadcast to over 40 African countries so you can only imagine how excited I am. I’m really honoured to be part of it; this year’s show is going to be massive,” Bonang enthused.
