WAS MAMPINTSHA’S MOM JUST DRUNK?
Babes Wodumo said that she knows Zama Gumede says things when she is drunk but she had taken this too far as she confirmed her pregnancy.
“I am pregnant, whether she likes it or not. If she has problems with it, she must deal with it. I am hurt about this. I know most of the things she says when she is drunk should not be taken seriously, but this time she has gone too far. I am going to press charges against her. I want her to clear my name,” continued Babes Wodumo.
Babes Wodumo also said that her mother-in-law showed up to her wedding drunk and attempted to disrupt the wedding.
“She arrived for the wedding drunk and made demands. I don’t know what this woman wants because she did not raise Mampintsha. Mampintsha was raised by her grandmother. I don’t know why she is dragging me in their family politics,” said Babes Wodumo.
MAMPINTSHA MOM UPSET ABOUT WEDDING PREPARATIONS

“She was informed about the wedding beforehand. I did all I was obliged to do as a wife with regards to her as my husband’s mother because I wanted the wedding to bring the two families together,” she added.
