In 2022, the Miss Universe organisation underwent significant change, losing its long-time host Steve Harvey and gaining a new owner, Jakapong “Anne” Jakrajutatip.
In a social media post in December of that year, Jakrajutatip asked her social media followers to suggest names for potential hosts for the pageant’s live finale.
Matheba’s name topped the list alongside media personalities Jeannie Mai, Zuri Hall and Ashley Graham. She unfortunately did not get as far as fans hoped she would but she channelled her talents into hosting the Miss South Africa live finale.
She is now famed for the level of professionalism she brings to the role, even going as far as flying in stylists and a glam team to dress her for the live event.
This year, she is using her platform to give her fans and pageant lovers a detailed look at the planning that goes into pulling it off. She tells News24:
This final episode is a sneak peek into this year’s thrilling ride up to the crowning of Miss South Africa that everyone has been waiting for.
The B’dazzled star and executive producer says episode 6 promises to deliver all the glitz, glamour, and grit that fans have come to adore, along with some surprising twists, guest appearances, candid moments, and heartfelt diary sessions in Bonang’s signature flair.
Elevating from last year’s glimpse into her Miss South Africa finale preparations, this year invites viewers to watch her juggle the high stakes demands of one of South Africa’s most prestigious events.
