If you haven’t heard by now, GQ South Africa have just dropped their September issue – titled The Power Issue. And who better to grace the cover than the Power Queen herself Bonang Matheba.
Within 15 minutes of dropping the cover, the hashtag #GQxBonang was trending in South Africa, and it was for all the right reasons. Not only is this Bonang’s first-ever GQ cover but it’s also GQ’s very first female stand-alone cover.
The people of Mzansi have spoken and judging from the praise received on all social media platforms, they are IN LOVE!
See some of the love circulating the web here:

When @bonang_m said: “The world doesn’t know how to interpret or deal with a strong woman so I rise above, I return hate with love, kill them with kindness and bury them with success.” @GQdotcoza listened & recognised the Queen 👑 #ThePowerIssue #GQxBonang pic.twitter.com/KMSJKCqWvG
