Satellite TV or Bonang's champopo? Twitter can't decide
Forget what curry Mbaweezy ate at Saxonwold or whether your suburb is on the load-shedding schedule for the day, one of the biggest questions of 2019 has to be whether the Midrand crew should buy DStv or Bonang's new bubbly.
Fans are still celebrating after Queen B launched her debut champers range House of BNG, last week.
But when one fan posted a picture of himself with a bottle, he probably had no idea he was starting a Twitter fire that would blaze for hours on end.

You see, in the background of the picture is a TV aerial hanging onto the floor.
Tweeps zeroed in on it and questioned why the man didn't use the R399 he spent on the bubbly for a DSTV subscription.
They were unforgiving in their criticism, while others came to his defence and said he must be left to live his life the way he wants to.
OVHD is 400 too 😊 once off
