TshisaLIVE can reveal that Bonang Matheba's shock resignation can be pin pointed solely to the appointment of Lerato Kganyago as her co-host on the Front Row.
Highly-placed sources within the SABC have told TshisaLIVE that Bonang's resignation had everything to do with co-hosting the show with Lerato.
Apparently SABC bosses communicated the news to her, and Bonang was not happy about having a co-host, but said she would give it a shot.

SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago confirmed Bonang's resignation but would not be drawn into commenting on the claims.
