Babes wodumo and Mampintsha are finally husband and wife. The controversial gqom stars put Durban to stand still with their traditional wedding yesterday.

The two whose real names are Bongekile Simelane and Mandla Maphumulo tied the knot in their traditional wedding held at Ebandla Hotel, Ballito Durban, KZN.

Although the wedding ran hours late because they were coming from a gig, the two looked lovely, the groom wore isiZulu traditional attire and the bride wore siSwati traditional attire.

Their intimate wedding was attended by only a few people invited and celebs like DJ Tira, Lvovo, DJ Bong, Dladla Mshunqisi, Uzalo actors Khaya Dladla and Nokuthula Mabika just to mention a few.

The couple inked a R3 million deal with Showmax, who will be broadcasting their reality series titled Uthando Lodumo. The reality show was set to premiere early 2021 but it seems the couple wanted to document their entire wedding ceremony including the lobola negotiations.

According to a press release by Showmax, a part of it reads, “Babes and Mampintsha’s relationship has not been a fairy tale romance,” says Nomsa Philiso, MultiChoice Channel Director – Local Entertainment. “They’ve had serious issues as a couple, yet have chosen to remain together. The show focuses on how they have overcome their challenges, working through them with their families.”
