Gugu Khathi, DJ Tira's wife, has come out strongly to defend her husband and record label boss who has been dragged and labelled an"enabler" of Mampintsha's alleged abuse of Babes Wodumo on account of the fact that he's worked with the pair. DJ Tira responded to the widespread backlash he's received after a video that shows a man believed to be Mampintsha physically assaulting Babes went viral on Monday. "It truly hurts to see how the attention has shifted to DJ Tira and not trying support Babes Wodumo aka Bongekile Simelane was assaulted last night by Mampintsha her boyfriend this is a criminal act, abuse is abuse and Mampintsha should be punished period!" Gugu explained.
The DJ had to release a statement after he found himself in the middle of a storm of reactions that dragged him for partially being an"enabler" of the situation because he knew both Mampintsha and Babes personally. "My heart is really sad for Babes Wodumo and no woman should have to go through this. For those of you who know me, you know that I have never, and would never, enable abuse," Tira wrote.
