South African entrepreneur, producer, radio and television personality Bonang Queen B Matheba says Cape Town is the capital murder city of the world.
She uttered these words while being hosted as a special guest by the Breakfast Club Power 105.1 in American.
Pre-1994 Cape Town
“Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world but there’s a lot of segregation. How Cape Town is set is still pre-1994 where all the black people were in the settlements outside of the city… It’s still very much like that,” says Queen B.

Black Diamonds
She says Black Diamonds (Black middle class) find their way in Johannesburg compared to Cape Town’s tiny market for blacks.
When asked about the robberies taking place locally she laughed and said she’s being asked the wrong questions.
“It’s, unfortunately, the murder capital of the world, Cape Town… South Africa has a lot of crime, but there’s so much more that it has to offer and there are parts of South Africa that the crime isn’t so much and some it’s going down (decreasing),” says Queen B.

Entertainment Divisions
Talking about the South African entertainment industry she says it is divided into two and it’s black driven because South Africa is a black country.
The division of the industry it’s when it comes to black and white entertainers.
“There are few celebrities who are able to connect the black and white audience,” and Queen B is one of them due to the type of shows she’s been able to do.
She also notes the fact that when outsiders think of Africa they think of slavery, poverty, no water and that needs to change.

In terms of how she moves career-wise she says, “I just think the strategy is the plan which makes it easy to navigate because you have a clear direction and also because you know what you want so you don’t waste time.”

Success in America
“Success in another country besides home is a challenge. But there’s still that American dream for Africans and South Africans,” says Bonang Matheba.
She says that she has a breakthrough plan when it comes to the American entertainment industry and being on the Breakfast Club her plan is unfolding very well.
“I wouldn’t be sitting here if it wasn’t for social media. I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. I wouldn’t be able to tell people stories,” she says.
Talking about the E! African Influencer of the year award, she says she’s not an influencer, but she’s influential, crediting the tittle to Instagram models and other social media influencers.

Marriage, Men, and Children
When she was asked about the huge rock on her ring finger she said it was just there as stop-nonsense and that she’s not married yet.
Queen B says that men don’t approach her and it’s okay.
“I will eventually have children when I am done with everything. When I find a nice guy but I think men, in general, are a very tough category, a very tough wall to breakdown. Men are strange,” says Queen B.
