A local publication reports that Babes Wodumo is allegedly drowning in debt following the passing of her husband Mampintsha Shimora Maphumulo.

Sources close to the singer told Zimoja that Babes Wodumo allowed her family to move in with her in the home she and Shimora shared. This was a way to cut costs and save as she is apparently the breadwinner.

The friend even alleged that Mampintsha left Babes in a lot of debt, but luckily they own the home.

“He has left her in a lot of debt. Luckily, they own the house, but the debt has accumulated,” the friend said as quoted by the blog.

Another source claims Babes is left wondering what Shimora did with their finances as he handled everything, “He was managing all the finances of the business and household. These people met when Babes was very young, he has always been guiding her and taking care of the money. But she now has to manage everything on her own. She is in serious debt.”

“There was a time when they almost lost the house, but it was paid off. But she will recover because shooting Life After Mampintsha, the season of their reality show with Showmax. But for now, things are rough and she is taking as many bookings as possible.”

Babes sister and manager, Nondumiso Simelane responded by saying, “Who doesn’t have debt bandla. Babes will be fine. She will share her story when she is ready.”

Babes recently opened up about spending Valentine’s Day without Mampintsha. “Wow after sooo many years this is the first Valentines Day without you sthandwa Sam… Today woman out there are celebrating with loved ones, but however me being here today makes it different from others…I forever cherish days we shared together..Ngyazi ujabulile ukungbona today nginawe Sdudla Sam,Sdikselwa,Stakataka,Baba ka Sponge,” she captioned the post.

Even Makhadzi sympathized with her and sent her love.

This comes after their public fallout where Babes decided to pull a publicity stunt using Makhadzi.

“Imagine my boyfriend hearing that I am trending for another man! . Just Because someone wants to pull a stunt by mentioning my name. But I forgave her already. And also replied to satisfy her. Good bye. Khavhavhasale vhatshiamba zwine vhafuna nne ndidovha ndikha fb namus,” she wrote.

Zahara’s fiancé pulls the plug

There seems to be behind-the-scenes drama brewing between family of multi-award winning musician, Zahara and her hubby-to-be, Mpho Xaba. While the doctors are doing their best to save Zahara?s life, who turned 36 in November, her fiancé has allegedly pulled the plug on her “controlling” family.  According to a reliable source, Xaba allegedly told the hospital management during the week that he was reneging on last week’s agreement that only himself, Zahara’s mother Nokhaya, her two sisters and brother were allowed to visit her in ICU at a private hospital.

“This week an angry Xaba told hospital management and doctors treating Zahara that only himself will visit her, claiming her family wants to control everything yet they won’t pay for her hospital bills,” the source alleges, adding that, “Zahara family has been banned from visiting her after he overheard them discussing unsettling money issues yet they won’t pay for urgent medical procedures that need to be done to save her. Mpho put his foot down and said he’s Zahara husband,” said the source.

The source maintains that Zahara?s mom, Nokhaya, and brother haven’t done anything wrong, but have been supportive towards her.

“Zahara’s mom has been dragged into this situation because her sisters are too controlling. Remember when Zahara had to do more tests, it was his brother who raised the money, which ran into a few thousands of Rands,” adds the source.

Zimoja has learned that that more money is needed for more tests to be performed to determine how far she can be assisted medically, but her family doesn?t have enough money. .

Zahara

“Zahara is still awaiting more funds to do more tests before she can be put in the long queue for a liver transplant. But no one is coming to assist her, despite promises done privately by some of her music industry colleagues.”

According to the source, chances of her spending Christmas in hospital are high after she was admitted a fortnight ago with a liver-related complications.

Despite her man setting boundaries about who can visit, it is alleged that rapper and business mogul, Cassper Nyovest, paid Zahara a visit this week on two occasions. Cassper made sure he didn’t take any photos with her or anyone in case photos of Zahara are leaked on the internet since she is frail,” said a source.

Zimoja broke the story last Sunday that Zahara was sick but her family and management team asked for privacy and prayers. They promised that updates would be made on the musician?s social media platforms but this hasn’t happened. When called for comment, Zahara’s manager Oyama Dyosiba defended Xaba, saying he was acting within his rights.

“That guy doing an amazing job and acting within his responsibilities. For Zahara to be in private hospital it is because of him. Zahara remains in hospital we can’t allow everyone to come in as they please. Her state is critical and sensitive. Until she is fully fine we can?t allow certain people,” he said.
