Musician Bongekile "Babes Wodumo" Simelane is in celebratory mode after finally unlocking her deceased husband Mandla "Mampintsha" Maphumulo's cellphone.
The singer is breathing a huge sigh of relief after telling mourners at the late musician's funeral service on 30 December 2022 that she could not access his cell phone because Mampintsha died without telling her his phone's pin number.
"What has left confused me is that he has departed on earth without giving me his cellphone pin, ay because man," said Babes. Babes told mourners that "all men cheat" and it seemed as though sis was unbothered by Mampintsha's side chicks who surfaced on social media after his death.
"Now I will be just looking at as people call because I can not open it, but a man is a man, there's no man that does not cheat, there isn't," she said.
On the heels of this, Babes has finally unlocked the cell phone and she is thrilled. In a video making the rounds on social media, the Wololo hitmaker is seen sitting at home and going through Mampintsha’s iPhone.
In the clip, Babes Wodumo could be seen cracking up and excited to go through his conversations.“I have finally found my baby’s pin code. Thank you baby,”she said.
She added, "Shame, my husband loved me until the very end. I am still busy looking over your conversations. Don’t worry, I won’t be mad at anyone.”
Facebook users reacted to Babes Wodumo's post.

Kennie Thokozani Kunene commented "I think better focus on healing cause in all honest what you are doing is damaging yourself more, an uzihlekisa ngalezo ntombi ozibonayo. He's not around to answer for himself anymore, u can't fight lezo ntombi either. Just flush the phone and focus on the kid and your healing. This will depress you more. Think for that soul that needs you."
Kennie Thokozani Kunene wrote "And this is not the right way of mourning a person you claim to love no matter what. Look you are busy giving the media and people things to talk about"
In one of the episodes from the couple's Showmax reality show, Uthando Lodumo. Babes Wodumo accused Mampintsha of sleeping with some female dancers as well as hitting on other female celebrities that she knows from the industry.
"I am even suspecting he has spending that money with his new girlfriend or something. Thirdly, he is relentlessly wooing other women, he is even hitting on celebrities that I know. All that he is doing is really embarrassing me to people. Another thing, I had male and female dancers, he was hitting on all the female dancers, some of which he slept with. Even after when I found new dancers, he started hitting on them again. Him dating with my friends, was the final straw for me" said Babes Wodumo.
