Bonang Matheba pulls a Zodwa Wabantu and breaks the internet

Bonang Matheba recently brought the heat into the streets when she rocked a flowing yellow summer outfit.

Bonang's took to Instagram to share her glam look with the fans and captioned it "African butter"

However what caught fans' attention was the peek of waist where the bikini line is supposed to be, well there was nothing.

Fans asked her if she had decided to forgo her underwear and Queen B as she is known, aired them and went about her business.

This led fans to compare Bonang to dancing queen Zodwa Wabantu who is not about that pant.y life.

Zodwa Wabantu is known for her exuberant dances and going onstage without wearing pant.ies. Despite being heavily criticized for that, Zodwa has remained unapologetic about her stance.
