The Miss Cosmo Organization has officially announced that “Queen B” Bonang Matheba, a renowned television and fashion figure from South Africa, will serve as the Host of the Miss Cosmo 2025 Grand Finale & Beauty Music Festival. The announcement has drawn warm attention and interest from audiences worldwide.
The excitement surrounding Miss Cosmo 2025 continues to build as the Grand Finale & Beauty Music Festival is scheduled for December 20, 2025, in Ho Chi Minh City. The event will gather more than 80 beauty queens and national representatives from around the world, alongside leading Vietnamese artists, in a night of performances carefully crafted to deliver an inspiring and memorable experience for audiences.
Amid the growing anticipation, the Miss Cosmo 2025 Organization has officially confirmed Bonang Matheba, Africa’s celebrated icon of beauty and entertainment, as the Host of the Grand Finale. Her presence is expected to bring dynamic energy to the “Rising Dragon” stage and mark a significant new chapter in Miss Cosmo’s journey in Vietnam.
Bonang Matheba – the famous South African “Queen B” of television, was honored by Forbes Africa as one of the “50 Women Shaping Africa”
Bonang Dorothy Matheba is one of the most influential figures in South Africa’s entertainment industry. Beginning her television career at the age of 15, she quickly established her name across multiple roles, as a television presenter, radio host, author, and entrepreneur. Bonang has hosted many renowned shows such as LIVE (SABC1), Top Billing, Afternoon Express, and Being Bonang – a reality TV series chronicling her own journey, showcasing her captivating storytelling style and natural ability to connect with audiences.
Beyond South Africa, Bonang Matheba has hosted several major international events, including the MTV Europe Music Awards (2014), BET Awards (2016), Miss South Africa, and various regional programs. Each time she takes the stage, she demonstrates confidence and a strong connection with the audience. Her charisma and professionalism have earned her recognition as a “globally connective MC,” one of the key reasons why Miss Cosmo 2025 selected her to host the Grand Finale & Beauty Music Festival.
In addition to her success in television, Bonang has also made her mark as a businesswoman by founding the premium sparkling wine brand The House of BNG. She is among the few African women honored by Forbes Africa in its list of “50 Women Shaping Africa”, and notably became Revlon’s First International Ambassador Outside the United States.
Beyond her professional achievements, Bonang established the Bonang Matheba Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting education and the empowerment of women. Bonang Matheba’s selection as the Host of Miss Cosmo 2025 highlights not only the presence of a globally influential personality but also the pageant’s direction in building an international stage where beauty aligns with confidence and purpose.
With her experience in leading global events and her ability to engage audiences with authenticity and warmth, Bonang is expected to help Miss Cosmo 2025 go beyond the boundaries of a traditional beauty pageant, transforming it into a true “Beauty Music Festival” that celebrates culture, art, and global connection, positioning Vietnam as a new destination for beauty and creativity.
