Some reports suggested that she collapsed after being barred from her son’s funeral proceedings. According to Pinki Mampintsha’s passing has affected her mother’s health.
“A few days later before the funeral, she became worse. She couldn’t sleep and she couldn’t walk. At Mampintsha’s funeral and memorial service, we had to support her”
“My mother is a bubbly person but she hasn’t been herself since my brother’s death,” Pinki told the publication.
Despite her health issues Zama is livid over her daughter-in-law, Babes Wodumo’s behavior. The gqom queen has been trending on social media for the wrong reasons.
“One; no offence, I love Babes, she and I reunited and made peace at the funeral, but this is not how things are done,” said Zamanguni Gumede.
“Firstly, she is not at home, she is gallivanting in the streets, drinking and partying. Two, she is not wearing traditional mourning clothes. The daughter of a pastor is not following the rules. She is doing things her own way” added Zamanguni Gumede
She said he is not a very traditional person herself but what Babes is doing is wrong.
“I am not a very traditional person myself, and I understand people heal differently and deal with grief in their own way, but this is not right. This is painful to watch. She is disrespecting my son in a way” she said.
