SNAPS | Babes Wodumo visits Mampintsha's grave

Babes Wodumo has visited the grave of her late husband Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo.

Mampintsha died on December 24 after complications from a stroke. 

The gqom musician took to her Instagram timeline to post a snap of herself at his grave.

“Kade Ngivashele isoka lami (it's been long since I visited my partner),” she captioned the post. 

The couple got engaged in October 2020, announcing the news with a video on social media of Mampintsha going down on one knee with a ring in his hand.

They celebrated their traditional wedding in 2021.

After the funeral, Babes had to face the reality that her husband was no longer alive. 

“The sad thing is the bed is empty and she needs to take up more responsibilities. Babes is strong. What I like about her is she didn't change her character,” Babes' sister Nondumiso Simelane told TshisaLIVE.

She said a grieving Babes catches herself calling out for her sweetheart.

Speaking at a memorial service for the star, Babes' father said the pair were meant to be together. 

“Babes, in this journey of music, was put into it by Mampintsha. He trained and taught her because Babes used to be a model here in eThekwini. Before I know it there goes Babes into music with Mampintsha. I will never forget him because he groomed my child to be the successful star she is today. He succeeded in doing that.”
