Mampintsha‘s family beg Mzansi for prayers as the star suffers from a stroke. Award-winning musician and husband to Babes Wodumo is topping the trends after his family reveals that he is critically ill.
Record label Afrotainment dropped an official statement on 22 December 2022, confirming the rumours that were making rounds on social media about Mampintsha’s sickness. The dishes specked during the weekend that the 40-year-old, whose real name is Mandla Maphumulo, was admitted to King Edward Hospital in Durban. The statement confirmed that Mampintsha was later transferred to Durdoc Hospital in Durban Central.
Read the complete statement from Afrotainment below:
This statement serves as a notification to the Public, Media, Promoters, and Big Nuz fans about businessman and artist Mandla Maphumulo.
The star, as he is affectionately known as Mampintsha, from multi-award-winning group Big Nuz, suffered a minor stroke a week ago upon his return from a performance with Big Nuz. He is currently in hospital receiving medical attention and is under doctors’ observation.
The family asks that the public and media respect their privacy during this difficult time.
We ask that you keep him in your prayers. Afrotainment wishes him a speedy recovery, and we cannot wait for him to rock the stages again
Musician Mampintsha suffers from a stroke
Mampintsha’s family also told news reporters that they were informed about his sickness last week by his wife, Babes Wodumo.
Talking to news reporters, his family said:
On Saturday, 17 December, we received a phone call informing us to rush to his house.
When we arrived there, he looked very sick. His speech was already affected.
He told us that he consulted with isangoma and was told he needed to do (amagobongo) traditional ceremony.
“He asked us to buy a goat and get impepho so he could perform the ritual. We went back home and did exactly that.
But he never arrived. Instead, he phoned and told us to perform the ritual without him. We were surprised by this, but couldn’t do anything.
As a result, we slaughtered the goat and ate it. But we didn’t burn impepho.
Days later, we learnt that he suffered a stroke and that he was admitted to hospital. Again we contacted Babes and her family, but we were told not to worry about him because everything was fine.
We know he’s very sick, but we’re being sidelined again, and there’s nothing we can do. We are worried and are scared something bad might happen to him.”

Mzansi not feeling remorseful for Mampintsha
As the news of Mampintsha suffering from a stock went viral, Mzansi is not feeling remorseful for him. Many people say he deserves it since he maltreated his wife and spent her fortune unapologetically.
Not long ago, Babes Wodumo opened up about how her husband, Mampintsha, was abusing her and not allowing her to pursue her music career. Mzansi felt pity for Babes, and many people were willing to help her to be the extravagant and unique onscreen diva she used to be.
So Mzansi strongly believes that Mampintsha’s illness from a strong is a punishment from God and Babes Wodumo’s ancestors. A Twitteratti commented:
Khama is dealing with Mampintsha, he truly deserved it
