Babes Wodumo

Tik Tok user who imitated Babes Wodumo‘s singing and dancing at Mampintsha’s memorial service held on Thursday has come under fire on social media.

This comes after a video of her reenacting the moment went viral on social media and it ruffled major feathers. On Thursday 23 December 2022, Babes Wodumo melted the hearts of many people. She honored her late husband by dancing to Big Nuz’s Song Of The Year Ngeke featuring DJ Yamza.

The self-proclaimed Gqom stood up with her son and danced to the song as the crowd gathered around her to capture the moment. No one saw it coming that social media users were about to recreate the moment and make it a viral challenge.

In the video, the unknown woman is seen wearing an all-black outfit while holding a doll with green paper on its head. Her cringe-worthy video has angered social media users who think she is insensitive and disrespecting Babes Wodumo who is currently mourning the untimely death of her husband.

Tweeps have slammed the woman for making fun of Babes Wodumo’s grief. Here are the reactions.

At Mampintsha’s memorial service, DJ Tira advised Babes Wodumo to reclaim her throne as the Gqom queen. He revealed that Babes used to charge R100,000 per gig. “Babes must go back to the top of the charts. When she joined the music industry she was charging R100,000 per gig. You [Babes] should not be comfortable [with earning less] and you need to get out of your comfort zone if you want to go back to the top. You need to work hard and have a focus. Also, we still have Sponge [Babes’ child] to raise because Mampintsha is no longer with us. We as his friends, we will do anything for him [Mampintsha],” said DJ Tira.

Bishop Welcome Simelane, Babes Wodumo’s father, expressed that he was proud of his son-in-law, Mampintsha. “I thank him for leaving me behind a grandson, Sponge. Mampintsha played a huge role in Babes’ music career. I thank him for that because he supported and groomed my child to be a star she is today. She can now support herself financially because of Mampintsha. You hardly get men like that these days, men who would support their spouses the way Mampintsha did,” said Simelane.

Ranaka’s sisters

Manaka, Mpumi, and Dineo Ranaka didn’t talk for a year due to conflict between them. The siblings didn’t reveal why they were not on talking terms. However, they’ve reconciled and they briefly talked about the incident to Zimoja. We fight and we are not pretentious towards one another,” says Mpumi

“It would have been sad for me to get married, which is something that is happening soon without my sisters being there. So, I am happy that we have reunited,” she added.

Ranaka’s sisters

Manaka’s mind was muddled with various questions after the three sisters were invited to be guests on Festive Get-Together in the Life Artois: “Firstly, I asked myself, why they would want the three of us; myself, Mpumi and Dineo? What do they know? Do they know besingakhulimisani? (Did they know that we were not on speaking terms) We didn’t know we would go through some healing process that we didn’t ask for,” she admits.

The actress further explained how they reunited at their dad’s 80th birthday.

” We have just started talking slightly after a year of not speaking because of our dad,” Manaka says. “God works in mysterious ways. We were not talking when my dad turned 80. We arrived, ate and at the end of the birthday lunch, we were talking. We didn’t even bicker, as one would expect. At the end of that evening, everyone was in tears, we were talking and bonding. Yes, there are some unresolved issues, but we love each other, after all, we are siblings. The sisters didn’t disclose why they were not talking, but being able to reconcile and reunite back as sisters excited them.
