Adding another accolade to the champagne’s brand.
The champagne brand was launched in 2019 and became popular, it was even named the MCC for Sun Met 2020 earlier this year.
Her limited Prestige Reserve Brut MCC retailed at R799 per bottle, and received a lot of criticism from people.
When she launched the champagne she described its elegant and luxurious taste saying, “Being a Queen Bee means having everything a girl needs, including fabulous style and personality to match. Introducing my latest little guilty pleasure, BNG, a true indulgence for yours truly, with an elegant and refreshing taste profile.”
Taking to her Twitter account, Bonang announced this latest achievement and thanked her supporters, “ya’ll made BNG the number 1 selling MCC at Woolies!

“The House of BNG as you know is really my passion project, it’s my pride and joy and to see it be so well received by my fans, is an honour!” she said
Bonang is also the first black woman who is a member of Cap Classic Producers Association. This label instilled doubt to many people, questioning whether she can pull it off or not.
“Entering the luxury beverage market has had its challenges of course but through strategic planning with a clear vision and a great team who understood all the logistics, it has proven a success. There are many moving parts, so you have to keep your eye on everything, all the time,” she told the publication.
