Bonang Matheba’s BNG Confusion Made Clear
CSA Global has allegedly negotiated directly with House of BNG wine-making partners Vino Ventures and has split the partnership between them cutting Bonang Matheba out as a shareholder.
CSA claims Bonang is aware that any intellectual property, trademark or copyright developed by CSA remains their property including House of BNG.
Bonang says CSA has acted without her knowledge in certain matters while claiming she brought House of BNG with her when joining CSA
CSA Global also claims Bonang was the only one who made millions of rands in profits out of House of BNG meanwhile CSA is still at a loss after investing millions to make House of BNG a success.
CSA Global says Bonang earns a royalty on the retail price for each unit sold while not exposed to any liability should the business make a loss or required to be capitalized.
CSA has also ordered Bonang to relinquish control of the House of BNG account or face consequences.
Sparkle With BNG This Festive
A TIMELESS TASTE OF AFRICA
In 2019, Bonang Matheba launched her very own luxury beverage brand with the introduction of the House of BNG and its Brut and Brut Rosé Méthode Cap Classiques (MCCs).
Bonang’s “loveletter to Africa”, the brand became the country’s favoured celebration partner – from the Presidential Inauguration to Miss SA – and, in the process, ‘Queen B’ also became the first black woman to become a member of the Cap Classique Producers Association.
The House of BNG followed up soon after with the release of its Prestige Reserve MCC, launched at the SunMet, Africa’s biggest and richest horse-race.
The House of BNG continues to innovate the category and its unstoppable ascent in the South African luxury beverage market following the release of the Nectar range, one of the first African brands to produce a true sparkling wine in a can.
“The House of BNG was a passion project of mine for a long time. It’s no secret that champagne is my favourite drink, so having the opportunity to make my own MCC was an opportunity I couldn’t miss out on! I’m so excited about the brand’s growth and in its innovation of new products,” says Bonang.
Known as the “Champagne Queen”, Bonang made a specific decision to orginally make MCCs with Cape grapes rather than a champagne (made from region-specific French grapes) and involved the careful crafting of a unique blend by acclaimed Cape Wine Master Jeff Grier, selecting the finest grapes from across the world-renowned Stellenbosch wine-producing region. To suit her taste preferences, Bonang collaborates in the creative process, from advising on the balance between bitter and sweet to the size of the bubbles.
“It’s been a magical journey working with Bonang. Taking cues from Bonang herself, the MCCs embody her spirit of vibrancy and optimism, from bouquet to palate,” says Jeff Grier. “As for the Nectar range, it’s outstanding wine, in the Demi-Sec style, light in style but big on taste.”
