Mampintsha’s mum suffers a stroke, family begs money for hospital bills

Mampintsha’s mother, Zama Gumede is reportedly hospitalized after suffering a stroke. According to Zimoja, Gumede has been ill before her son’s death, but it got worse after his passing on the morning of 24th December 2o22. The Gqom star died of a stroke while receiving treatment in the hospital.

Mampintsha’s sister, Pinky Gumede details the situation of Zama’s health to the aforementioned publication. Pinky said Zama hasn’t been okay since her husband died in 2016. She had liver complications, but she is now worse. When Mandla died she wasn’t even drinking alcohol anymore.

“She is not taking Mandla’s death well. She started feeling ill before him but got worse when he was first admitted into the hospital,” Pinky adds. When she heard the news of her death, she became even more ill.”

“The doctor says her liver has been affected and she also has been diagnosed with a stroke. But her stroke is not bad, she will not be disabled If she takes her medication. She has not been able to eat properly and that is affecting how she takes her medication.” Pinky says.

Zimoja further reported that Zama is yet to accept the death of her son. Even now she is still asking for Mandla and I’ve had to tell her that he is at the airport,” Mandla’s sister says. Pink Gumede revealed her mother needs a private hospital and psychiatrist but no money to take care of the bills.

“I am even scared to ask them for help. It is costing me more than R140 to travel to the hospital every day to see uMa and I am running out of funds. I heard that the Simelane family knows that she is in hospital, but I am afraid of being the one that calls them and be as though I am harassing them. I don’t know what we have done to them. We are not greedy people; I just want her to be okay so she can deal with her son’s death,” Pinky added.

Mampintsha’s mother hospitalized

Late Mzansi musician Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo‘s mother, Zamanguni Maphumulo is reportedly sick. According to Mampintsha’s sister Pinki Gumede, Zama has been admitted to Wentworth hospital, where she is receiving medical attention.

“Our mother is very sick,” Pinki told Daily Sun. She added, When Mampintsha died in December last year, she became weak and could not walk.”

A couple of days after Mampintsha’s death reports emerged that Zama had been in the hospital because she was not feeling well. 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.

Pinki is pleading with the public to help get her mother the best treatment. She told the outlet that she would like to move her mother to a private hospital.

“I know the doctor and nurses are doing everything to save her, but my wish is to move her to a private hospital”

“I don’t have money to do that. I am appealing to the public to assist me so that I can get her the best treatment,” she said.

Zimoja Lezinto recently reported that 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.

Scores of people are certainly not thrilled at how she is mourning and paying her last respect to her Mampintsha. Speaking to the publication Zama said Babes is disrespecting her son and she is not mourning properly.

“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.

Reactions be like:

“When are artists going to be viewed as normal working people kanti… I mean we are all hustling njena umehluko asikho kwi-tv or radio.”

“Lo muntu ubupheza day in and day out. Uhlulwe yini ukthatha i life policy? We love our KZN artists but they (and their families) cannot be the rate payers responsibility. The funeral was all we are prepared to do.”

“Kanthe Artists think their Money is For LV’s and Gucci nice cars nd Balling…. Their family well off is their responsibility not ours just like any other South African… angas Nyeli thina.”

“This person was talking nonsense, artists at their peak earn way above the average South African, they should never pretend like they never had a chance to do right by their families.”
