One thing about being a celebrity is that whether you like it or not, you will find yourself being compared to other celebrities at some point. This reality plays out again and again. It has just played out with South African entrepreneur Bonang Matheba, as some social media users claim that she is not as influential as the beauty vlogger Mihlali Ndamase and Kay Yarms.

The issue over Bonang’s place among South Africans began after tweeps debated who the best South African influencer is. While some tweeps held that Bonang should hold that position easily, others countered that she isn’t too influential after all. She might sell a few products via her influence but never sells out anything.
Another fired that Kay Yarms is the better of the lot. The debate is ongoing even as we write. But you can check out some of the ideas below.
South Africa bubbles with influencers, some of who appear to have more visibility than others. But for the most part, it is usually a turf war, with fans pointing to their faves as the real deal – the top of the lot.
