BABES WODUMO WANTS ACCESS TO HER HUSBAND’S MUSIC

Mampintsha, born Mandla Maphumulo, passed away on 24 December 2022 after suffering a stroke.
Since his passing, Babes heads up his businesses, as well as his alcoholic beverages, Original Shandis Gin and Vodka.
“That was more than two years ago, but he is still holding onto the music, haw kahle!” she said.
“Either he releases the music or sends it to me, and I will release it under his label as his own. I don’t want the legacy of my husband to die just because people are holding onto his music,” Babes added.
The Wololo hitmaker and the Big Nuz group member had one child together, Hlelolenkosi Maphumulo, popularly known as “Sponge”.
Further speaking to the publication, she said that other artists have Mmapintsha’s vocals.
“He spent a lot of time in the studio, and there are people for whom he did vocals on their songs but have not released them. I’m asking for umculo wendoda yami (my man’s music). His child needs it.”

“I have hundreds of songs that have not even been released, and you wait for the right time. It’s the same with Mampintsha. We made a song together, but it wasn’t the right time. I have spoken to Babes; the music will be released,” Kabza said.
