Babes Wodumo reportedly learned of her husband Mampintsha’s death through social media.
According to a Newzroom Afrika reporter, the singer learned of her husband’s death in the morning after a nurse from the hospital where Mandla was admitted leaked the news on social media.
The Kwaito star was admitted to King Edward Hospital in Durban, KZN last weekend and later transferred to Durdoc Hospital in Durban Central, where he died on Saturday morning, December 24, 2022.
“She said everything looked well, they actually thought he will be discharged on the 24th on the day that he passed, but unfortunately she woke up to social media to people saying that he had passed. The story told by the family is the one of the nurses of the ward is the one that broke the news to certain people, and that how word got out, and the family is very unpleased with this how unfortunate to find out through social media, and that’s where they saw very distraught Babes Wodumo who couldn’t even contain herself because of the way she found out. The family is also making appeal to the public as a whole to hold up from breaking such tragic news whenever anyone else passes or is dead until confirmed by family first,” the reporter said.
Babes Wodumo only found out on social media that her husband, Mampintsha is no-more. 💔💔
Apparently the nurse broke the news to media 😳
"Everything looked well, they actually thought he will be discharged."
RIP Shimora🕊
