After weeks of being at the center of controversy over grammatical and factual errors in her book, Bonang Matheba has spoken out about it being pulled from shelves
During Friday night’s episode of her reality show, Being Bonang, she explained why she decided to retract the book.
She said she instructed publishers to republish her book because of “what people thought was wrong with it”.
Bonang’s memoir, Bonang: From A to B, was recalled from Exclusive Books stores across the country, after it got major public backlash for weeks over errors in it. Customers who bought it were also offered full refunds.
“So, there was drama surrounding my book, so I said, you know what, in order to keep these people quiet, let’s take this book back, reprint it and fix the things they thought were wrong with the book and re-release it,” Bonang said.
Bonang added that she believes everything happens for a reason and now the book is better than before
“It’s going to be a brand-new edition coming out at the end of this particular week. My book tour starts again and I think it’s so awesome that my fans have been supportive. I’m so excited. I think there is a reason why everything happens. Now the book is even better.”
