Babes Wodumo at Mampintsha's grave
Babes Wodumo visits her late boyfriend, Mandla "Mampintsha" Maphumulo. The late musician and the Gqom queen married and their union was blessed with a son, Sponge. However, dark clouds emerged over them in 2022 December after Mampintsha died due to a stroke at the Durban hospital in which he was admitted. Babes Wodumo, whose real name is Bongekile Mildred Simelane shared a photo of herself at her late husband's grave. She shared the photo shortly after her suicidal post went viral on social media. "Kade Ngivashele isoka lami @mampintsha_shimora," she captioned post.
