Through a series of vague tweets, AKA let in mzansi on the second most heartbreaking news of the week, that he and Moghel Matheba have decided to part ways. Now there has been speculation surrounding the couple, dating back to November 29 when the pair were said to have ended things, even deciding to unfollow each other on social media. But speaking to Tshisa Live AKA rubbished those allegations. Now however, it seems it's official. Matheba has also been sending out vague tweets of her own, despite not saying anything about the break up outright.
Myself and Bonang have decided to call it quits. I feel like I need to put this out there so we can both move on. I wish her all the best and I will always love her. ❤️

Before this tweet, there were several others that said, in different wording by the pair to 'choose peace'. That left Black Twitter wondering where the sudden burst of 'motivational speaking' as they termed it, came from.
...choose joy... once you choose and place your attention on wanting to flow there, the universe will shift for you and inspire you to the action needed to take you there....

Life is really just about making a decision. Making a decision to be happy or to be sad.

....there is no right, and there is no wrong. Just different perspectives...
— Bonang B* Matheba (@bonang_m) December 28, 2017
People can do things to you, hurt you, make you feel low or whatever but ultimately .... it's up to you how you deal with it and how you move forward. Nobody is responsible for your happiness, only you can make the choice of which path you think is best for you.

People spend their time blaming other people for how they feel when in fact, you have a choice ... people make theirs ... will you be brave enough to make yours?

With this wave of words of wisdom, Black Twitter then took it upon themselves to ask the question we were all thinking:
Why are you and your boyfriend being motivational, y’all scaring me 🤨🤨.... is yall engaged or what 👀

And what would a celeb break up be without Black Twitter sharing files? In 2013 Cassper Mufasa Nyovest tweeted that he'd love a chance with Queen B. Here's the evidence:
Eish!! Bonang Matheba!!! What I would do!!! My word

And The CSI villager encouraged him to go for it:
