Babes Wodumo, the widow of the late musician Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo, has publicly forgiven her mother-in-law following years of the family feud.
Babes Wodumo, real name Bongekile Simelane, kissed and made up with Mampintsha's mother Zama Gumede at the late star's funeral held on Friday at the Durban ICC.
Wearing a white flowy outfit and a blonde weave, Babes Wodumo took to the podium flanked by family and industry friends. She paused for a few minutes in front of the microphone while the song Ngithethelele Nkosi blared in the background.

The rift between the singer and the Gumedes has often landed with unflattering videos with nasty exchanges between the two (Babes Wodumo and Gumede) on social media. Gumede had previously publicly accused Babes Wodumo of disrespecting her and controlling her son. Gumede also disapproved of the celebrity couple's union. This led to Babes Wodumo threatening to beat her up but they eventually made up.
However, their reconciliation was short-lived when Gumede and some of her relatives accused Babes Wodumo's family of preventing them from viewing Mampintsha's body at the mortuary this week.
