This after radio and TV A-lister, Bonang Matheba, launched a scathing attack aimed at Vodacom on social media, following her return from anall-expenses-paid Durban July trip by the telecoms giant.
According to insiders, the star often went off at the company to get its attention.

Said the first source: “But now they’ve had enough. After the latest attack on the company, Vodacom decided to downgrade her from its VIP list to being a mere prepaid subscriber.“As a VIP subscriber, her number had premium benefits, which are way different from those of ordinary citizens. But the company feels enough is enough.”

A second source said Queen B’s social media rant was prompted by her beef with the telecoms behemoth over the massive cellphone bill, which led to her being downgraded in its network.
“She wanted Vodacom to override the bill, which had gone well above R150K. She accumulated this amount on data and call charges in only one month,” the source said.
“As for the social media attack, it’s not her first. When it started, Vodacom met her halfway by writing her bill of more than R50K off. The same thing happened, and a bill of more than R100K was written off.
A third source said: “Not only has she run up a huge bill, but Vodacom pays her a pretty penny for certain promotional work.”
This week, Vodacom spokesperson Byron Kennedy confirmed our enquiry.
