Celebrity author relaunches book after multiple typos
BBC reported last month how South African radio host and TV presenter
Bonang Matheba fell foul of eagle-eyed social media users who spotted
spelling and grammar errors in her new book, Bonang From A to B.
Several people even got out their red pens to pinpoint the many typos in Ms Matheba's autobiography:

Ms Matheba's publishing house, BlackBird Books, was quick to respond, saying it took "full responsibility" for the errors.
The backlash on social media prompted editors to take another look at the book and republish it.
At
last night's book signing, Ms Matheba said the new edition is "a great
piece of work" which she hopes will "change people's lives".
