Mandla ‘Mampintsha’ Maphumulo is expected to appear before the Pinetown Magistrates Court on Wednesday on assault charges for allegedly beating his partner Bongekile ‘Babes Wodumo’ Simelane.
Some media reports have suggested that Babes Wodumo is set to withdraw the assault charges she opened against Mampintsha when he allegedly beat her in the bedroom of his Westville home two months ago.
The incident was captured on Babes Wodumo’s Instagram and led to the arrest of Mampintsha, who admitted to beating her, but blamed her for provoking him.
She is featured and sings in the song Khon’iyingane Layindlini, which references the video assault incident.

However, Lindo ‘Dogg DBN’ Buthelezi, Mampintsha’s manager, confirmed his client had withdrawn assault charges against Babes Wodumo.
Meanwhile, Babes Wodumo's father says her daughter will 'never go back to that man', according to Daily Sun.
“Over my dead body! My daughter will never go back to that man,” Welcome Simelane told the Daily Sun.
"Just because they recorded a video together doesn’t mean they are romantically involved. They’re working together. Their relationship is that of colleagues, not lovers."
Whatever is going happening between the two of them, the public will never really know. Let's see how the judge rules against Mampintsha in court tomorrow.
