The TimesLiveSA revealed why Bonang left.
In a rare interview at about 7pm on Monday evening, Bonang held nothing back about her resignation from Metro FM, explaining that she expected "more professionalism" from the SABC.
Bonang rubbished widespread speculation that her resignation was because of Lerato Kganyago, who was revealed as her co-host just hours before.
"It could have been anybody else in that chair. It could have been male, female, a famous person or a non-famous person. It was principle that mattered to me," she said.
"I get there at 8.30 am [on Monday] and they are like 'oh you got a new presenter, a new producer and JJ is gone,’ and I was like what?” Bonang explained.
Bonang says she is a huge fan of Lerato.
"Everybody knows that I love Lerato and it's not about her at all. I have publicly defended her and I am one of her many fans," she said.
