Drama as two familes fight over Mampintsha’s body outside mortuary

The controversial family of the later Mampintsha has once again made headlines and topped the Twitter trends list for the wrong reasons, following reports that his mother Zamanguni Gumede, was denied access to his lifeless body at a Durban-based funeral parlor.

The musician succumbed to a stroke on Saturday morning, 24 December, following a short stint in hospital. Videos of the Mampintsha’s family wreaking havoc outside the Clermont Icebolethu funeral parlor in Durban, have garnered a lot of attention on social media. It seems the gqom star will not have a peaceful send-off if the videos are anything to go by.

The clips shared by IOL senior journalist Sihle Mavuso, have raised eyebrows as Mampinstha’s family is seething with anger after allegedly being denied to see his body prior to the funeral service. The families are allegedly at loggerheads over Mampinstha’s body and the funeral arrangements. In the video, the angry group can be heard berating Babes’ family and asking “what did she do to you” and “she only wants to see her son”.

It is no surprise that the families are at war again as they have been at loggerheads for a while now. There have been nasty words exchanged between them on social media.

However, people can also be reminded that the relationship between Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha’s mother, Zamanguni Gumede have always been toxic from the get go. The two have never gotten along even with Mampintsha alive. It woud seem impossible for them to start getting along now, after such a toxic relationship and years of turmoil, emotional abuse and great deal of hatred between Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha’s mother, Zamanguni Gumede.

Mampintsha’s memorial service will be held on the 29th December, 2022 at the ECC EThekwini Community Church and his funeral on the 30th December, 2022 at the International Convention Centre, Durban.

In 2020, Zama called out the Simelane family on social media for excluding her from her son’s wedding. She accused Babes Wodumo’s father of being a criminal and alleged that Babes was faking her pregnancy. In response, Babes returned the aggression and hurled insults at her. The family appeared to have reconciled in the latest season of Babes and Mampinstha’s Showmax reality show Uthando Lodumo, but war is brewing again.

WATCH: It looks like Mampintsha's funeral will be marred by war of words between those from his mother's side in KwaMashu and the family of Babes Wodumo. Apparently this unnecessary drama unfolded outside the mortuary earlier today. pic.twitter.com/mnJu8etwaB
