Woolworths has issued a statement to clarify confusion regarding Bonang Matheba’s lingerie being available in Australia, which Bonang posted a message about last week on her social media saying her line, Bonang for Distraction, would be launching in David Jones Department stores in Australia in October.
Statement from Woolworths:
There has been some confusion stemming from an incorrect announcement made on Ms Bonang Matheba’s social media platforms last week relating to the extension of her capsule collection for Distraction into Australia,” the statement reads.
“Ms. Matheba is the South African brand ambassador of Woolworths’ lingerie line, Distraction. Your article stated that Bonang for Distraction is launching in Australia and this is not correct. There are no plans to extend Bonang’s capsule collection for Distraction beyond Southern African borders. Distraction has, however, been available in David Jones stores in Australia since August 2015. Ms Matheba has rectified the error by posting a correction on her social media profiles.”
Matheba has taken to Twitter to clear the air as well.
