Babes Wodumo is safe and has booked herself into a hotel following her assault, at the hands of her boyfriend Mampintsha
.On Monday, a video emerged showing a man, who appears to be Mandla"Mampintsha" Maphumulo of Big Nuz fame, assaulting Babes Wodumo, real name Bongekile Simelane. The assault was captured on an Instagram live recording.
“She is OK. She is booked in at an accommodation she normally books into when she wants to be alone and away from Mampintsha,” said DJ Tira who is close to both Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha. He said he was saddened by the event, especially at a time when the country is fighting the issue of domestic abuse.
“It is extremely wrong,” said DJ Tira. “My heart is really sad for Babes Wodumo and no woman should have to go through this. For those who know me you know that I have never, and would never, enable abuse.” DJ Tira said he became aware of Babes Wodumo’s abuse following her interview on Metro FM in May last year. DJ Masechaba Ndlovu confronted her about her rumoured abuse at the hands of Mampintsha. The interview garnered a lot of attention and mixed reactions.
