Rumours were that Mampintsha was booe'd out of the venue and taunted for performing at the event.

However, Mampintsha's lawyer has come out to clarify that Mampintsha was being welcomed into the venue and not mobbed as initially thought by the public.

Speaking to Sowetan Live, Mampintsha's lawyer - Pat Magwaza explained that what had happened was the total opposite, Mampintsha was in actual fact being received with love from the masses who expressed their joy at seeing him. He further told the publication that Mampintsha wasn't there to perform but there to have a good time.
