Some might say that the best defence is an offence, but this is clearly a strategy that hasn’t worked out for Bonang Matheba, as her battle with entertainment blogger Phil Mphela is only getting worse.
After Mphela suggested on Twitter that her plan to sue the Sunday World over a report that she had tax woes was a bad idea, the celebrity presenter clapped back hard, telling him to… well, go and have intercourse with himself.
It all started when Mphela decided to weigh in on Matheba’s R10m pending lawsuit against Sunday World following reports that she was allegedly due in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crime Court last Monday for “tax fraud”.
Taking to Twitter, Mphela wrote: "My thoughts: Moghel should have just let this go. It's tabloid and responding or suing only gives the story traction. Furthermore, I don't think it is wise for her to be waging a war with journos. Her influence is waning & she needs positive coverage to remain at the top."
This did not go down too well with Queen B, who quickly told Mphela to "Go fu_ck yourself".
However, Mphela would have none of it as he also told Bonang to "Ok know what I'm done being nice. FUCK YOU TOO @bonang_m and your minions."
Go fuck yourself! Honestly. https://t.co/OOKcTtH1kn

Mphela clapped back that Queen B, "fu_ck you too".
"Ok know what I'm done being nice. FUCK YOU TOO @bonang_m and your minions."
Ok know what I'm done being nice. FUCK YOU TOO @bonang_m and your minions.
Your delusion of grandeur is getting to your head. You can't do shit to me. Someone lied to your and told you that powerful girl. Ignored your vitriol all day and now once again you crossing a line.

Most commentators would have scurried away at that stage. Bonang, after all, has over three million followers on Twitter and they can sometimes descend on those who criticise her like an army of angry ants.
Mphela, however, was having none of it. After posting that she had blocked him on Twitter, and alleging the celebrity was lying to her followers about waiting for a response from him, the critic took things a step further.
You are a liar, manipulator and many more ugly things I could get into but I have never gone there. We are all fallible, and I loved you regardless but right now I'm done. FUCK YOU!
Wanna do this? Let's go right back to Sun City 2012.

“Wanna do this? Let’s go right back to Sun City 2012,” Mphela cryptically tweeted.
Sun City 2012? What on earth could’ve happened then?
Naturally, Bonang haters and fans immediately pricked their ears up. Since that tweet went live, social media has been abuzz with anticipation.

Tongues are certainly wagging but right now the only person in this exchange who has put a forward is Bonang. Clearly unafraid of what Mphela has to say, she’s thrown down the gauntlet.
Spill! My minions are I are waiting…lemme know when you’re done, let’s chat Sunday World! You had lots to say about THAT! ❤️ https://t.co/O4DUo3Uz46
