Why is Babes Wodumo being singled out for her 'unconventional' way of mourning?
Bongekile 'Babes Wodumo' Simelane during the memorial of her husband Mamndla 'Mampintsha' Maphumulo at EThekwini Community Church in Durban.Many cultures have their own rituals and customs that influence the expression of grief, but there are some people who choose to colour outside the lines.
Some argued on social media that Babes needed to take time off and properly mourn her husband. Mampintsha's mother and sister also raised eyebrows at Babe's social media activity.
