Luis Munana Girlfriend

South African media personality Bonang Matheba says women should sleep with

South African television star Bonang has stated that women could sleep with anyone they choose without fear of social criticism.

This was stated by Bonang in an episode of the reality show Young, Famous, and African. She claims to have fucked Africa’s biggest celebs and is still standing.

She said this while ignoring some advice her co-star, Luis Munana, was offering to Fantana, another co-star on the show. Louis believes Fantana should concentrate on her talent and not date Tanzanian singer Diamond Plantnumz, who has six children with multiple people, including co-star Zari Hassan.

Luis wants Fantana to be known for her music rather than as Diamond’s side chick or affair.

Bonang, on the other hand, disagreed with Luis, claiming that checklists are not limited to men.

She has a list of men she has slept with and walked away from, according to the TV host. She advised Fantana to do whatever she wanted, including sleeping with Diamond Plantnumz and walking away from him.

In episode 2 of the show, Fantana paid Diamond a visit at his home and then started their first kiss. After Diamond asked Fantana if she wanted to go upstairs, the two proceeded to the room together.

Luis Munana young famous and African on his decision to choose ‘worldly’ things

He’s the dark chocolate hottie that fans of Netflix’s original reality series Young, Famous & African were hoping to see in the second season. However, as the show progresses, some viewers are left heartbroken by the account of how “worldly” things cost Luis Munana his family relationship.

During the ninth season of Big Brother Africa, the Namibian national reality TV star and entrepreneur’s first stint on reality TV caused a schism in his relationship with his family. Munana admitted to having sex with a Big Brother housemate.

Luis Munana religion Jehovah Witness

“I come from an extremely religious background,” he says in part of a conversation with co-star Andile Ncube. “Upon coming out [of the Big Brother house], I got excommunicated from the congregation.

At the time of recording Young, Famous & African, Munana says it was seven going on eight years since his ex-communication from the church.

“We don’t communicate unless someone is ill or dying,” he tells News24 in an interview. “But I do know they love me, and I love them.”

Without naming the religious organisation his family belongs to, Munana says it has specific rules it abides by, and if you break them, you are reprimanded and given a chance to “repent” and change your ways. He says members of the organization are meant to “lead by example”.

“If we do things like going on national TV and having sex, it’s a taboo,” he says. “I was given a chance to say that I could leave that life behind and, by that, anything considered worldly. But, aside from that incident on Big Brother Africa, I did other things that are considered worldly.”

Munana’s ventures include his own MCC (sparkling wine), Razul, founding the MTC Windhoek Fashion Week, and a modeling career, among other things.

“By virtue of me being who I am, the congregation basically sees it as a taboo. So I had the choice to leave what I was doing and rejoin the organisation, which meant I could not continue doing what I feel is my calling and my livelihood, but I chose not to put those things behind me. I chose to continue to pursue them.”
He says because of the ex-communication, anyone who is baptised into or has taken an oath or vow to the organization, including family and friends, may not have contact with him.

“I’m not allowed to socialise with anybody who is part of the organisation; I’m not allowed to step into the homes or be in their presence,” he says. “That also means that I cannot go to my childhood home, and I cannot go to my siblings’ homes because they are still active members of the organisation.”

“If they fraternise with me, then they are sinning against God, and that would not put them in a good standing with the organisation and so forth.”
Despite rarely talking to his parents and broader family, Munana admits in the show that he does miss them, and there is a lot he wishes to share with them.

“I know they don’t have any ill feelings towards me, and I don’t have any ill feelings towards them,” he says as the interview ends. “They are just part of an organisation with rules, mandates and bylaws, which I was part of, but I left. They must abide by that; otherwise, they also risk being excommunicated, and I don’t want that for them.”

Age

He is 30 years of age. Born on 23 July 1992.
