Bonang Matheba's reality show has come under fire from fans.

The new director and co-producer of Bonang Matheba's Being Bonang reality show has hit out at critics, including those who say it is a failure, claiming that fans have unrealistic expectations of the show.

 A day after television statistics revealed that Bonang's show  failed to make the top 30 list of most watched shows on DStv, that the show has brought in director Olwethu Mlotshwa from Somizi's reality show to help co-direct and produce Being Bonang.

Both shows are produced by the Bar Leader, with Olwethu making the move to Bonang's show after wrapping up production on the second season of Somizi's Living The Dream With Somizi.

Speaking toOlwethu said that the move had nothing to do with the reports on viewership numbers but was critical of those who had slammed Bonang's show.

"From the numbers we have so far, Bonang's show is doing very well, especially since it is in such a tough time slot. I have watched the reaction to the show closely and I think that the problem is that people have unrealistic expectations. They think that it will be the same Bonang they saw on Live Amp but Bonang is older and she is different," he said.
