The drama between Mampintsha and his family continues. The family is reportedly at loggerheads again, after Mampintsha accused his mother Zama Gumede, and sister Pinki Gumede, of speaking badly about him to the producers of his reality show with Babes Wodumo, Uthando Lodumo.
According to Daily Sun, Mampintsha’s mom and sister are breathing fire over alleged unpaid appearances on the second season of Uthando Lodumo, and they want Showmax to remove their faces from the second season of the show.
Zama is alleged to have been paid R10 000 while Pinki was compensated R5 000. Now that Mampintsha has allegedly disowned them, the two have decided to dump the show.
Zama said her son is angry at her after exposing him. “He called and accused me of bad mouthing him to Showmax and the producers. He’s angry that I exposed him. He said he wants nothing to do with us because we’re jealous of his success,” she said.
She went on to add that he does not care because Mampintsha does not support her financially.
“I don’t care because he doesn’t buy me anything."
“I survive through piece jobs. I’m therefore asking Showmax to delete all the episodes that show my face," she told the publication.
Mampintsha has accused his family of jealousy and trying to bring him down. Zama and Pinki are now seeking legal advice in order to obtain their money from Showmax.
A few months ago, it appeared that Babes and Zama had buried the hatchet after Zama accused Babes of faking her pregnancy. In a fiery video, Zama dragged Babes Wodumo's father accusing him of being a fraudster. The allegations angered Babes and she even threatened to press charges against her.
The Maphumulo family also canceled Babes after her much-publicized Instagram rant about Mampintsha’s mom. The gqom singer accused her mother-in-law of abandoning her son Mampintsha, when he was only three days old. She even threatened to beat her up and said she would hire some thugs that she knows to teach her a lesson.
Speaking to Daily Sun, Mampintsha's sister Pinki Gumede, said Babes was no longer their makoti and they had cancelled her. “As Mampintsha’s family we are rejecting Babes Wodumo. She’s not our makoti but is Mampintsha’s girlfriend. We want people to know that she’s not Mampintsha’s legal wife," she told the publication.
She also said that Babes Wodumo did not want to host Umembeso, which is a traditional ceremony held after the lobola negotiations where the groom and bride's families exchange gifts.This is because she comes from a Christian family.
“Whenever we raise this issue with her, she tells us her religion doesn’t allow her to perform or observe Zulu tradition. This confused us because she knows that Mampintsha is a Zulu man who observes traditions. She has repeatedly proven that she doesn’t want to be part of this family. For this reason we’ll never put inyongo on her and we are rejecting her," she said
