Journalist Sihle Mavuso has said that there could be the possibility that Mampintsha’s family will exchange bitter words among themselves during the funeral of the late entertainer. The journalist wrote, “It looks like Mampintsha’s funeral will be marred by war of words between those from his mother’s side in KwaMashu and the family of Babes Wodumo. Apparently, this unnecessary drama unfolded outside the mortuary earlier today”.
In the video posted, some women wearing blacks, suspected to be members of his family, were seen exchanging words angrily. Although scenes like this are not uncommon in funerals, but it could signify that there is something wrong somewhere. Some journalists were seen running to cover some activities there, including the quarrelling scene. All these are happening as the entrainer and prolific artist will be laid to rest on Friday.
However, some social media users said that things like this are bound to happen because of the nature of Mampintsha’s death, and his personality. They were not expecting that a young man of his calibre would be passed on like that. The family is certainly hurt, and they may exchange words, as it is another way of consoling, mourning and pouring out their hearts. Another person added, “Please keep us away from family drama it happens in many families, and actually, we don’t want to know, and we don’t care about it.
Black Families always want to blame someone when their breadwinner or child dies—let’s accept our black foolishness and not glorify it”. Recall that Mampintsha was said to have suffered a stroke before he succumbed to the cold hands of death, sending shock and grief across South Africa and the entertainment industry. Another social media user wrote, “Nothing new here can we just not even make this a tea hle not worth it… If you watched their showmax show, you would know that this was expected”.
