Durban musician Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo lays assault charge against his girlfriend, Babes Wodumo.
The table has being turned around as the formal story was “Mampintsha being charged for physically abusing Babes Wodumo after a scene where, Mandla was repeatedly slapping Babes” went viral.
However, after a court briefing where Mandla was granted R2,000 bail over Babes Wodumo ‘assault’, he revealed that, he had handed himself over to the Westville Police Station before he made his way to the Pinetown Magistrate.
Maphumulo was in a “moon boot” in court, which is associated with a broken, fractured or otherwise injured leg, though, he revealed in the court that it’s an old injury.
ENCA confirmed that Maphumulo had opened a counter-charge of assault against Simelane which means Babes Wodumo.
“I want the police to deal with her like they dealt with me. People must say what they were saying to me to her,” he said.
Mampintsha also denied that he was hiding from police. “I did not run from the police; I was at a hotel.
“After the incident I went to the hotel and slept. It was only at 4.30am [Tuesday] when I realised I was in the news and people were saying all these bad things about me. I then went to the police station,” he said.
The case is saod to be back in court on May 15.
