Babes Wodumo breaks down in tears while recalling how she reacted to the news of her husband, Mampintsha’s death. The West Ink boss, real name Mandla Maphumulo died on the 24th of December after suffering a stroke.
During a live chat with her fans on Instagram, the Gqom queen gave heartbreaking details of her response to Mampintsha’s death. When I arrived [at the hospital] they had covered him with something white that had a zip,” Babes said as she wiped the tears from her face.
“I said to them ‘my man can’t breathe,’ they unzipped the cadaver bag. I was there, feeling like I’m losing my mind. My sister was there, Icebolethu Funerals was also there. I slept for two hours… For two hours I laid on his chest.
After two hours, they took him. I left with them and I kept telling them ‘you’re hurting him’. I was not in the right state of mind. I kept looking for cameras, thinking it was all just a prank,” she said.
