Police make arrest in Babes Wodumo assault case

The suspect in the Babes Wodumo assault case has been arrested and is currently in police custody.

"He will be processed and taken to court soon," police Brigadier Vish Naidoo said on Tuesday.

The Gqom singer is currently receiving treatment at home.

Her official spokesperson, Sakhile Mhlonishwa Langa, said Babes is "very emotional but stable" and is seeing a psychologist to help her cope.

A video of a man believed to be Babes' long-time boyfriend was apparently recorded live on her Instagram page during the early hours of Monday morning. In the video, a man can be seen assaulting the singer several times.
