Even now my heart is still broken but the one thing that would make us go forward is the love you give us.
“I'm glad this house [church] is filled like this because it means the love you have for Mampintsha, Big Nuz, Afrotainment and West Ink is big. There is still a lot of work to be done. Our sister Babes Wodumo must go back to her place at the top. “Mampintsha was very talented and creative. Everything that was his, you could not compare it to anyone. How many groups in South Africa or across the world vanished for 10 years and when they came back they went to the top? Big Nuz was quiet and came back, and now they have what I think is the biggest song in the country and it's because of Mampintsha and Danger's creativity.
“The person Mampintsha was this year was the same man I met in 2016 when we decided to form the group.”Pictures of a visibly upset Babes Wodumo were shared online, amid reports she allegedly learnt about her husband's death on social media.reported Mampintsha's family is fuming after a nurse allegedly broke the news without informing the family first.
