Somizi Mhlongo and former best‑friend Bonang Matheba surprised fans by bumping into each other at an airport, sharing a joyful video that shows both stars laughing and expressing excitement.

In the clip, Bonang, affectionately called Queen B, says she’s happy to see Somizi, who mentions he texted her a week earlier. Though they never directly talk about their past fallout, the encounter comes years after Bonang revealed in 2017 that she distanced herself because Somizi grew close to her ex‑partner, rumored to be Euphonik.

The two have since softened – Bonang attended Mary Twala’s funeral and Somizi recently praised her. The video, posted on Thursday 6 November, has racked up 555 comments, splitting fans between “team Somizi” and “team Bonang.”

The unexpected reunion unfolded at an airport, where Somizi captured the moment on his phone. The footage shows Bonang’s face lighting up as she spots Somizi, and the two share a warm hug. “I’m so happy,” Queen B can be heard saying, while Somizi adds that he had messaged her just a week prior, hinting that the meet‑up was pre‑planned.

Their friendship had once seemed unbreakable, but a public rift emerged in 2017 when Bonang opened up about why she pulled away. She explained that Somizi had become close with her former partner, widely reported as music producer Euphonik, which created tension between the two friends.

Despite that, the pair have shown signs of reconciliation. Bonang attended the funeral of Somizi’s mother, the legendary actress Mary Twala, and Somizi recently spoke highly of Bonang, underscoring that the hard feelings have eased.

Fans are divided: some celebrate the friendship goals and hope for a full reconciliation, while others remain skeptical, recalling past drama. The buzz underscores how much South African audiences care about the personal lives of their favourite  celebrities, and it looks like Somizi and Bonang might be writing a new chapter together.
