His father-in-law and Babes Wodumo’s father Bishop Welcome Simelane said he was proud of Mampintsha’s accomplishments and for making his daughter a superstar.
Simelane said Mampintsha not only loved his daughter but made sure he empowers and grows her to be on the same level as him. “I thank him for leaving me a grandson, Sponge. Mampintsha played a huge role in Babes’ music career. I thank him for that because he supported and groomed my child to be the star she is today.”
The last surviving member of Big Nuz, Mzi Tshomela, popularly known as “Danger”, said Mampintsha’s death did not mean the end for the group.Khomo died on August 7 2015. “We had a good life together and we shared laughter as we all had a lot of energy. Mampintsha was very smart and very creative. One thing we always fought with DJ Tira [Mthokozisi Khathi] about was that we were always late, but Mampintsha was worse at keeping time. It's painful that all my friends are gone and they are leaving me one by one,” said Tshomela.
