Babes Wodumo angers fans after court tongue-lashing
But star says she is grateful for support she got from fans after her latest court appearance
Babes Wodumo once again got Mzansi talking after she received a tongue-lashing from Durban magistrate Jackie Jonck at her latest court appearance.
The magistrat slammed Babes after the star, her sister Nondumiso Simelane and artist Tipcee failed to arrive on time due to car troubles.
"If your car is unreliable, take an Uber or a Taxify. This is the last time this court will indulge you. Next time I will cancel your bail and keep you in custody," the magistrate said.
As social media users reacted to the dressing down, videos of the star posing for pictures outside court and strutting like she's on a runway on her Instagram stories were shared on social media.

Babes Wodumo and Tipcee need to get their act together. Their music careers are not sustainable and are dependant on how the public view them and that can change in a second.

Babes did not respond to the criticism on social media but posted a video of the Durban floods, offering her support to those affected.
She later returned to thank fans for helping her through a difficult day and cheering her up with an appreciation video.
She said that she was in need of a "lift" following the proceedings of the day and said the gesture brightened her day.
