Cape Town – Social media users have commended Babes Wodumo for braving the stage in order to perform so soon after her late husband Mampintsha’s passing.
Mampintsha passed away in December at the age of 40 after suffering a stroke.
Afrotainment released a press statement in which it confirmed that the artist had a stroke.
“The star as he is affectionately known as Mampintsha, from multi-award winning group Big Nuz has suffered a minor stroke a week ago upon his return from a performance with Big Nuz,” it wrote in a statement.
So soon after funeral proceedings, Babes Wodumo braced the stage despite her grieving to entertain fans in the way that she does.
“Babes Wodumo was performing live on stage tonight. Girl is definitely back at work and must be supported by all means. May God make way for her to continue this journey. May she be strong, bold & courageous as she heal the pain of losing her husband. Proud of you Queen,” wrote @KBmanyobe on Twitter.

“I salute Babes Wodumo. She can’t bring her husband back and she has a baby to raise alone. Life had to go on. She is doing the right thing. I wish her all the best,” wrote another tweep.

Love that Babes Wodumo was performing last night….if her family was against, she wouldn’t have done it so everyone else can keep their opinions

However, not everyone felt the same way.
“Although I commend Babes for her strength but it’s still too early, she needs to deal with the loss. Distracting herself from the pain will result in her crashing. She really doesn’t have to rush the process, grieving takes time?,” wrote one user.
