A couple of weekends ago, South Africans woke up to a very graphic video of Mampintsha allegedly physically assaulting Babes Wodumo. The video which was first seen on the starlet's Instagram Live has since gone viral and many celebrities and fans have weighed in on the very disturbing situation.
Shortly after the video came out, DJ Tira distanced himself from the situation and his wife, Gugu Khathi took to Instagram to defend him.
"It truly hurts to see how the attention has shifted to @djtira and not trying support @babes_wodumo Bongekile Simelani was assaulted last night by Mampintsha her boyfriend this is a criminal act abuse is abuse and mampintsha should be punished period! Ukuthi how u making this about tira it's amazing your comments alone are abusive for ppl who are saints , it's such things that made babes go back previously cause she then was made to feel sorry via your backlash against mampintsha / abuse is a sensitive issue also life threatening don't focus on things or ppl who will delay actions that should be taken. #enoughisenough I'd also like to appeal to the police department to take abuse cases seriously our system has made women stay away from reporting these cases.," she wrote in part.
