The Big Nuz musician appears to have had a major change of heart.
After initially claiming to be the victim in a domestic violence abuse case involving his now ex-girlfriend Babes Wodumo, Kwaito musician Mampintsha has now attempted to apologise in a long public statement.In a social media statement on Saturday, Mampintsha, real name Mandla Maphumolo, attempted to apologise to both Wodumo, real name Bongekile Simelane, and South Africa at large.
“To Bongekile Simelane and the whole Simelane family, to our leaders and in this country, to my colleagues and fellow industry artists, to the general public, once more especially to our women, to my family and God, I’d like to say I’M REALLY SORRY AND REGRET EVERYTHING. PLEASE FORGIVE ME.” Maphumolo had just stepped out of the courthouse and held an impromptu briefing with a large crowd of journalists. He had minutes earlier been released on R2,000 bail after handing himself in to police. He is facing a charge of assault.Maphumulo arrived at court with his leg in an orthopaedic cast, saying Wodumo attacked him while he was “in this state”.
