A while back we reported on Metro FM’s shocking interview with Babes Wodumo (whose real name is Bongekile Simelane), which upset many for different reasons.
In case you missed it, it was alleged that Babes was being physically abused by ex-boyfriend and kwaito star, Mampintsha (real name Mandla Maphumulo).
These details were brought to light when DJs Masechaba Ndlovu and Mo Flava brought up the discussion during a promotional interview that was meant to focus on Babes’ new music, but became very personal and that many people felt crossed unspoken boundaries.
It also sparked debate around who gets to decide on how victims should or shouldn’t tell their own stories.
And while Mampintsha has released a statement and spoken to Metro FM about the allegations, Babes hasn’t really spoken up about that interview until now.
