Nonhle vs Bonang - Who's The Bigger Brand And Not All Talk?

I've never really looked at the two as competing till Nonhle opened her big mouth and revealed her jealousy for Bonang. I always admired, and still do, the success Nonhle has but never really put her in Bonang's league until now. It's only fair we put the two head to head to see who's really infront.

Presenting Careers:
Bonang is a radio and tv presenter for Yfm and Live respectively, she's also done alot of features for sports bulletins on SABC during the soccer world cup and was this year's chosen 1st lady for the 17th annual SAMAs event. Bonang also MCs a number of events and is the go to girl of the moment.
Nonhle is known for her tv gigs on O-Access, O-Boma and V-Entertainment. She left O-Access with an exciting, highly publicised exit of a presenter search and then became the face of Vuzu. Vuzu then asked her to be the global face and move to America to continue her career there where she's met any and all stars we critique on a daily basis.
VERDICT 1: I would say this one goes to Nonhle, she meets the stars Bonang can only chat about, everything else is kinda equal in its own merit. 1 nil to Nonhle...


As Brands And Business Women:
Nonhle is the ambassador of Dark And Lovely products, the international face for Vuzu and is set to realease, if she hasn't yet, her own fragrance. She developed her own reality show, Nonhle Goes To Hollywood, which was cancelled after 8 episodes and she also owns her own production company called Nonhle Thema Productions... Umh that's about it
Bonang on the other hand has her own clothing line, Just B (The Bonang Range), sold at Legit stores countrywide. She's an ambassador for the Peugeot 306, Diva Divine Hair and Brutal Fruit Cheeky Cranberry flavour with international socialites Kim and Khloe Kardashian. Bonang has her own range of hand bags called Baby Star and a web design business aswell. She recently began her own low low low budget reality show which aires on her site weekly. The list is really endless for Bonang cause she does everything.
VERDICT 2: Bonang takes this hands down, she's a larger brand and more business minded naturally.

Sex Appeal:
Well from looks alone I would definitely pick Nonhle, she's prettier and sexier by far. But let's look at this more closely:
Bonang is the first South African black entertainer to cover FHM magazine, the only other black woman to cover the S.A version is Joelle Kayembe. She's also covered Seventeen, Real, Heat, Soul, Blacque, YFM Mag, Move, Real
Nonhle's covered Bona, City Pulse, Joburg Style, True Love and ... Umh oh she was also featured in Next Big thing magazine and is one of VIBE magazine's 25 black people you should know .
VERDICT 3: Bonang is seen as sexier as she has covered more magazines than Nonhle. And I can't front; though I would pick Nonhle on sex appeal, Bonang really looks hot on magazines. Especially the Seventeen and FHM cover... Too Hot.

Twitter & Facebook Followers:
Facebook - Bonang 193 423 members   (Wowzas)        Nonhle - 26 352 members
Twitter -  Nonhle 30 508 followers                                 Bonang - 53 356 followers
VERDICT 4 - The numbers speak for themselves. Bonang is a beast on social networking.

Final verdict: Based on the above criteria, Bonang is 10 steps above Nonhle. Though the score is "3 -1", Bonang beats Nonhle in the most important part of the competition which is branding. There's alot of good presenters out there, but how many set themselves apart as brands? She has way more fans even though Nonhle is now international. So for now Bonang is the king of this little war their having... But Nonhle has the advantage cause she's in the city of dreams were she can blow up overnight. So we certainly hope to see more from these two stars.
