Shortly after the case was finalised, Queen B took to Twitter to send out some cryptic tweets, which some of her followers believe were directed at her haters.
"......try again honey," she wrote in one post.
The TV presenter added in another: "....we’re only available in the new year...."
......try again honey. 😘😘

Twitter users claimed it was Bonang's way of letting those who hoped to see her fall know she is fully booked in December and will continue earning fat paychecks?
Some believed she was sub-tweeting the court.

Please balance me real quick. Bonang was taken to Court because she owed millions in tax. She goes to court, admits guilt and pays R30 000. If this is true she has just earned herself a new fan. We are led. #BonangMatheba pic.twitter.com/BlEMgaC4zj

Someone please break this down for me. Does this mean Bonang Matheba has a criminal record...and, since she only paid admission of guilt, does she then make arrangements to pay the millions which she was said to be owing. Or?
