A warrant of arrest has been issued for gqom star Babes Wodumo after she failed to appear in the Durban magistrate's court on common assault charges on Friday.
The charges against Babes, real name Bongekile Simelane, her sister Nondumiso Simelane and artist Tipcee, real name Thobeka Ndaba, were opened at the Umbilo police station in March.
At the time the charges were opened, police spokesperson Brig Jay Naicker said: "The complainant alleges that on Monday evening she attended a gathering at a guesthouse in the Umbilo area when she was assaulted by four women, three of whom are known to her, after she got into an argument with one of them."
At the time Naicker did not confirm that it was Simelane, however a police source confirmed that it was Simelane to TimesLIVE.
