'Mega Sparkle' has a nice ring to it ...
SA rappers and many on social media have reacted to the news that media personality and businesswoman Bonang Matheba wants to open a record label.
Bonang took to social media over the weekend to share her new business idea after hinting that in her next life she would love to work in artists and repertoire (A & R).
However, she laughed about it saying her friends didn’t see the possibility in it.
.....next lifetime, I wanna work in A&R. 💪🏾👌

Fufa hitmaker Lamayne said having another woman in a position of power in the music industry would be great thing.
“Things just aren’t fair on the streets. Would be great to see more women at it actually.”

I respect @bonang_m for always striving to create jobs and opportunities in a society and an economy where there are regarded as minimal. She is using her platform to enforce a change of perspective and I’m here for it.
