Bonang Matheba's recent link to a love scandal has not slowed her down - the South African celebrity's lingerie line is going to Australia.

Distraction by Bonang first launched in partnership with Woolworths in 2014.

More recently Bonang's love life has made headlines, as DJ Zinhle claimed that the Top Billing presenter broke up her relationship with AKA.

This led to speculation that various brands such as Revlon would drop Bonang. This speculation turned out to be false.

"We have no plans to end our relationship with Bonang," said Michelle Stevens, Revlon SA spokesperson.

This new deal shows that it'll take more than a sex scandal to dent 'brand Bonang'.

*Note: Woolworths has since responded to this article and said that they have no plans to "extend Bonang’s capsule collection for Distraction beyond Southern African borders." Read the full article here.
