#MTVMAMA2016: Bonang Matheba to Replace Trevor Noah as Host after he Canceled due to a Respiratory and Ear Infection

MTV Base has announced that South African Media Personality and Entrepreneur Bonang Matheba will be hosting the 2016 MAMAs after ‘The Daily Show’ Trevor Noah canceled his appearance due to his Respiratory and ear infection.

He tweeted the news this morning saying:

“Due to the infection and strain on my vocal chords the doctor has ordered me to rest. I desperately wish I could dismiss the doctor but the added risk of flying means the decision would be highly irresponsible and may cause further damage.”

Bonang Matheba has commiserated with him since he shared the news as well as announced that her preparation is on!

Feels a bit UNREAL!! Thank you @MTVBaseAfrica for trusting ME!! Here we go…. 24 hours to prep!! ??
