Bonang Matheba Shares Her Secret To Success
TV presenter and radio personality Bonang Matheba, recently revealed her tips for being successful in the industry, advising aspiring presenters to work hard and offer something unique.
The Revlon ambassador opened to Bona about her work and what it takes to be an award-winning radio presenter.
“With everything I do – be it radio, television or my other work – I make sure I deliver and maintain professionalism. It’s important to be consistent with your good work, no matter what it is. Create a good relationship with the people that you work with, and maintain that,” she explained.
Mathebe, who recently scooped an award at the 2015 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, explained how eye opening the trip to Los Angeles was.
“I was exposed to and experienced an amazing place. The trip made me realise how far up the Americans are when it comes to hosting events like the one I attended. We have much work to do in South Africa till we can be on their level. The trip also gave me a chance to network, and perhaps, someday, I will expand and grow my brand internationally to places like Los Angeles. But right now, my aim is to grow my brand continentally; I’ve been doing some interesting work in Nigeria.”
She added that her advice to all aspiring presenters would be to deliver good work and be proud of what you do.
“Be patient – not everything happens overnight. Work hard and be consistent, deliver good work and keep at it; pride yourself in your work. Offer something different and unique. Constantly update yourself with what is in, and what works – do your research,” she revealed.
