Babes Wodumo’s father, Reverend Welcome Simelane, was one of the family members who publically supported her when she was allegedly assaulted by her boyfriend, Mampintsha. Simelane addressed the media after a video that Babes posted on her Instagram Live of her being mishandled and slapped around by Mampintsha went viral. Her father had many interviews with media houses and spoke on radio as well about how he would not stand for the abuse and convinced his daughter to lay charges against her former boyfriend. We thought it was very noble until Babes, who was a guest on Pearl Thusi’s Behind the Story on Wednesday, said he was doing all this because he loves fame.

Last year, Reverend Simelane also made news when he slammed the way Masechaba Ndlovu handled an interview with the Wololo hit-maker on Metro FM. He defended Babes, saying that his daughter was caught off-guard during the interview.Babes Wodumo
