Bonnie Henna Covers Real Mag

July 25, 2012 by Brown Shuga

Bonnie Henna is on the August 2012 cover of Real Magazine, and she looks so so beautiful, I had to stop and buy the copy. I was not disappointed with the issue, it’s well put together & has short but interesting articles. In true Real style, all the interviews are about some moments of depression or sadness the celebs went through, and how they got over them… so expect one from Sophie Ndaba, Bonang and if Kelly Khumalo hasn’t been on yet, she should have another cover when he reality show comes on air. Shout out to the Real Mag team though, I liked the issue.

What Real got right is their interviews, where you feel like the celebrity is chatting with you, sharing their story with an old friend they haven’t seen in a while. Eish, I feel like I’ve said this before…

Anyway, I loved the pictures of Bonnie in the mag, that is one hell of a hot photo shoot, she looked really happy too, a big contrast from the story.

When I read that interview I felt like it was a continuation of her interview with True Love... not sure if continuation is the right word, but half of it was about the True Love story, with “I “instead of the “we “that was used in TL.

Well, the big news for Bonnie is that she has written a book about her depression. The book is called “Eye Bags and Dimples” and will be released in September. *Side eye Khanyi Mbau* That interview with True Love was really deep and open so I’m not sure just how much of what’s going to be in the book will be new, and I still feel like Khanyi and Kelly, who are also writing books, Bonnie is still too young, and what she is going through now could’ve been another chapter in the book.

Speaking of that chapter in her life, I bought the magazine not only because it was beautiful but because I was looking forward to reading her comment on the rumoured separation from her husband but all she says about this is to acknowledge that there is speculation, they are going through a rough time, she respects him, he’s a great dad and we must pray for them.

If she says we must pray for them, I’m gonna assume there is still hope and pray for them because we need for all these young couples to stay together. Love can’t always end up in break ups hle… it just shouldn’t.

If you’re a Bonnie fan, or if you didn’t read her TL cover story, you’ll enjoy reading this. There’s also an interview with Zama Jobe about her ups and downs, and another one where Nkulee Dube talks about Lebo Mathosa. I didn’t read this interview because you know, whenever I read such articles, my reaction is “Oh puhleez, shut up!” and I don’t wanna say that to Nkulee.

Actually the True Love cover is better at least it maintains her natural complexion, while this mag made her look even lighter in complexion than she is! I think they make a nice couple, hope they pull throug…ps: I liked the bitchy Bonnie too, when she and Thandiswa Mazwai used to show the media the middle finger! Feisty girls!

Huu, but Bonnie looks beautiful on the cover, doesn’t look like someone who went through depression, is it even ‘curable’?

BlindFold on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 10:02 am

@Miss T, did u come back with your hubby?

muntuza on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 10:12 am

@Deemag I FULLY agree with you on the part of Sisanda having hindered her progress in this acting thing.. Bonnie is a BRILLIANT actress, and whenever I catch Backstage repeats, my heart sinks thinking how good she was and how far she could’ve gone had she not married this BORING, oppressive, backward thinking man!!!!!!!! SO ANNOYING!!!!!!! The whole issue of them not taking any roles that involve kissing/intimacy scenes is plain stupid and has taken her career !) steps back! I shudder to think how many amazing roles she had to turn down to please him… (I am sure he came up with this ‘rule’ cos before him, Bonnie had no issues kissing guys, and being brilliant at it, on our screens) *sigh* I am sorry but she needs to leave him hey. Aowa!

Monei on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 10:25 am

hawu muntuza, wa tla wa blame-a sisanda wa batho for the no-kissing. they both agreed to it. he also used to kiss ppl. they were both non-christians before. yada yada. ditaba tsa batho ba babedi…. i wish them the best, i wish them restoration, i wish them happiness and peace.

PoohBear on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 10:27 am

Happy Birthday miss T,

Happy birthday MissT.

WTeeZ on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 10:46 am

Bonnie looks too photoshopped there. but i’ll buy the mag just to read about Zama Jobe.

Unathi also looks beautiful on the cover of BONA bathong,

BS when are u haveing another 1 of those features where u review 3 or 4 mag covers? i really enjoyed those.

off the record, did u guys catch last night’s episode of My World on sabc 1. they were profiling Zizo Beda wow, that girl is so humble & simple.

Monei on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 10:55 am

on Wteez tip, did anyone watch Culture Shock on Mzansi yday? the swap of the zulu and venda mothers and last borns?

happy bornday Miss T!

muntuza on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:00 am

@Monei ke a mo blame-a vele!! Mxim! Wa ntena monna o.. And yes she agreed to it, but I don’t think she came up with it. In one of their interviews I read (dunno if twas TL or what) he gave reasons why he doesn’t agree with the whole kissing thing.. A re “I don’t think it’s right for me to kiss another woman, and possibly get a hard-on while my wife is at home”.. Something along those lines, but wa utlwa gore ke bo-DOM fela! Christianity never said give up your God-given talent to please a man. I will pray that she finds strength to walk away and reclaim her life back.

samlicious on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:09 am

Happy birthday Ms T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hayi shame as for Bonnie her bitchy side never went, lisekhona pha. That check is one miserable somebody I tell you.

At some point I felt sorry for Sisanda they way athetha naye ngakhona!

Mapakisha on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:10 am

Can anyone please tell me how one goes about this “writing a book” business? I think I need to start too. BS, Lolo, anyone???

kimmo on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:15 am

halalala @maphaks, you wanna do what??loooool am kidding

kamzababy on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:17 am

happy birthday miss T. Mapakisha i’d say start writing on your diary nje then compile thing once a month

Monei on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:20 am

hayi ke, muntuza. o go tenne ka nnete that poor skinny sickly looking man (as last seen on All You Need is Love). now that i say that, bonnie ene has gotten chubbier. if ur weight is ur health, she seems to be better than he is. then again due to the troubles,she shud cud be comfort eating and he cud be losing his appetite. go tseba bone.

Babyluv on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:21 am

Happy birthday MissT, i hope Bonnie leaves Sisanda athawise she might as well forget abt her acting career

Deemag on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:30 am

@monei I typed a long answer for u, disappeared but I was saying I know the couple, both sides of the family and Sisanda loves his wife so his idea to make this work they both had to cut the past, which is Bonisile’s wild past,

Men like Sisanda, do not cheat however are very insecure, and controlling some even violent! I remember the sex scene from Drum the movie caused drama within the family. Sisanda initiated the no kissing rule and Bonisile did not have the foresight of the consequences to agreeing to such an arrangement,

They bought a penthouse in Newtown before they left for New York which later on they could not afford , since marrying Sisanda her life has been very unstable, moving from one place to another the poor girl can only take so much, I wish they come to a compromise because this facade they sell to the public won’t help. Sisanda’s idea for a successful marriage is unfortunately not a reality in this life; does not bring in the bread and butter

bumbum on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:34 am

If you let your man controll you at the beginning there are slimmer chances that you can change him at a later stage. My mom used to say if your man abuse you, stand up for your self and make sure the message is clear that you will never tolarate it. I think we can blame it on Sisa but Bonnie also played her role in this mess. I hope they find the way to make it work.

kamzababy on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:35 am

huuuuuuuu monna o dom gake mmatle tlhe!

Monei on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:37 am

@ deemag, i guess muntuza’s instinct/stance was right based on ur inside info. shem, and i fear an insecure man so much. i am a terrible ego stroker/suck up/illogical sacrificer.

Smang-mang Warona on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:40 am

Do they have kids together? As in the ones that Bonnie was preggies with? Or can she not have kids?

Deemag on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:48 am

They have a son michaela and another younger adopted one (son)

makasoso on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:49 am

i think the simplest way for the henna’s to save their marriage is to completely leave the entertainment industry and go and work somewhere else where kissing is not even an option.

Wild Island on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:50 am

HBD MissT

kimmo on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 11:53 am

then sisanda must get a well paying job if he cant let bonnie act ,

posh on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 12:11 pm

@WildyIsland yes His People Church…

bumbum on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 12:15 pm

They can also go behind the scene to part away from kissing and hard ons.

@Kamza, i’m already scribbling diary – actully been doing that for years now.

@MissT, happy birthday ma:)

muntuza on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 12:33 pm

THANK YOU @Deemag !! Yessess I knew gore ntwela e sesane ke yona e oppress-ang Bonnie! SMH. And waitsi I don’t even like Bonnie as a person, eintlik she got bitchy vibes, but I am just worried about the talent that she is, going to waste. I am yearning for her acting. She is supposed to be there le bo-Nthati Moshesh and the likes. Brilliant SA actresses!

@Kimmo aowa why must he even be given power to ‘let’ her act?! She is amazing at it,she should be able to do it whichever ways she pleases.
Yes, marriage is about compromise, but do yall know how many people go through life doin shit they hate/are not good at because they have no choice?! She has talent, and opportunity to do what she loves, and she gave it up to please a man? Haai le ena though :/ Who does that?

snapshot on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 1:05 pm

@MisT happy happy ubuyile o Lord we thank you, i was getting worried about you, see guys not all Niger boys will take you home only to kill and stuff you with drugs- enjoy your day dear, hope ubuye naye lomfana LOL

So @muntuza when actors kiss they get a hard-on, he banna i didn’t know, all along i thought, its work no feeling attached

@Mapakisha, do it dear, but BS indirectly alluded that youngsters should not write books, not that her opinions are facts, you are free to do it, however we think that section can be a chapter later on LOL

@Deemag which side of Newtown, if i may ask

BlindFold on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 1:06 pm

Could’nt agree with you more @kimmo..if he wants a housewife ha a sebetse atlohele papadi…

BlindFold on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 1:09 pm

@muntuza the fact that she has not been kissing anyone on screen since she got married to that Motsetserepa it means she was ok with it..if not she should have left him a long time ago.

kamzababy on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 1:23 pm

the idea of not kissing on scrren backfired on them shem.. it didnt work for them. time for plan B..besides Tsha-tsha where else did Mr Hemma act?

Mapakisha on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 1:29 pm

@snapshot, ok~!!

kimmo on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 1:36 pm

and the thing that annoys me more is he does know what acting is about he is an actor himself, you can ask that again wena @kamza hore where did he act except ko tsha tsha, nna i just think its a man ego he is scared that bonnie will do well more than him in terms of actin career since she gets more jobs, so he must start marketing for a proper job!

@ maphaks, you have my blessing my gal ok, right behind you cheering for that book

Pana on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 1:36 pm

Happy birthday Ms T, you share it with two of my best friends. you must be a good person.
i haven’t read the mag hlena but i just wanna ask if maybe Bonnie complained about Henna oppressing her somehow?
I mean we do things coz we wanna, our men rule us coz we want them to rule us.
My man said if i were to fall pregnant i’ll have to stop working at 6 months to take care of myself.
Guess what, I think it’s a very brilliant idea. so just bcoz u dont agree with how some people do their things doesn’t mean they have a problem with it.

Thank you for the Bday wishes guys. Ngiyilandile into yami – came back with hubby.

@Pana, thanks dear. I’m the kindest person ever!!!

Azande on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 1:59 pm

@Pana but its only brilliant if ur man will be able to take care of u and the baby, e.g pay ur car instalment if sikhona, household staff ect ect, than is good who can say no to that. But u cant tell me not to take kissing jobs/whatever and fail to provide as well.

Azande on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 2:00 pm

oh Happy zalwa day Miss T

Happy birthday @Miss-T!

The Henna don’t look healthy though guys. Depression/ poverty must have taken a toll on them hey. I feel sorry for Bonnie. We really give men way too much power over us hey! Ene yena if she wanted to set such rules, shem forget!

muntuza on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 2:13 pm

@Blindfold le nna I was surprised when i read Sisanda’s reasons or being against him and his wife kissing people on the job, means yena he does get a boner from it O_o Moruti wa tsotsi :”D

Aowa @Pana so you’re saying as long as oppressed people don’t complain, then means there’s nothing wrong? Its same as a woman who stays with a man who beats her up, yes it’s her choice, but its NOT RIGHT! OK maybe that is a bad example but you get the principle mos, she agreed, probably as a compromise, but twas honestly a bad move for her career especially.

@Azande I agree with you, if you gonna make your wife stp doing something that brings in money, then wena you must work twice as hard to bring in what she would have. SIMPLE! But bona they were struggling financially, like really?! You’re gonna turn down roles when you cant afford rent and stuff? SMH

BlindFold on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 2:15 pm

But @pana..you would be happy being at home because you will be taken care off, Bonnie is struggling financially hence the depression and all that kind of stuff.

Mapakisha on Wed, 25th Jul 2012 2:15 pm

Be careful of guys telling you to stay at home and they will support you. My cousin is such a smooth talker. He convienced his baby mamma to quit her job and lied to her about how his elders were coming to pay lobola. Meanwhile, the leders know nothing about this lobola deal. Now my cousin has moved on and impregnated yet another foolish young lady. #beware of men with forked tongues.
