Last night Bonang Matheba's 'From A to B' was officially launched at the Diamond Walk in Sandton -- and it's already flying off the shelves.
But those who have delved into the new authoress' work have some questions...
One user took to Twitter to post photos of pages from the book, which show numerous grammatical errors and typos.
This started a chain reaction, with more readers coming forward to point out the glaring errors in the tome. From dodgy sentence structure to an incorrect birth date, readers left no page unturned.
Abort mission!!! Stop the launch, take the books off all shelves and get a proofreader Queen ??#FromAtoB pic.twitter.com/XP3wUMijnC

What if they did a mistake and published her diary instead of the actual book? #FromAtoB pic.twitter.com/QaKZYMkFYp

I don't blame them, it's a poorly written book for a lady of such a calibre. The grammar just went #FromAtoB and that was it

Problem with #FromAtoB was that the focus was on the book cover and the launch which was beautiful, but they lost the book in the process.

So all the errors & bad grammar are gonna be down played because of love? Have we become so used to poor service to complain????? #FromAtoB

Whether #FromAtoB is the best seller or not. Acknowledge mistakes, apologize & show respect to your audience than to act as if none happened

Fans of the media personality said they blame the publishing company for the very clear mistakes in the book.
Bonang is yet to comment on the situation.
