Babes Wodumo Defends Mampintsha’s Honour After Gayton Mckenzie’s Viral Video

• Babes Wodumo is not pleased that Gayton Mckenzie was talking about Mampintsha at a funeral recently
• The singer seemingly reacted to a viral video of the politician talking about how the government reacted to Mampintsha's death compared to AKA
• Babes expressed her anger on X/Twitter about Gayton pushing his agenda using Mampintsha's name

Mampintsha has topped trending topics on X after Gayton McKenzie had his name in his mouth at Pastor Dawan Gordon's funeral in Randfontein.

Gayton McKenzie points discrimination

During his speech, the President of the Patriotic Alliance mentioned how the government treats black and coloured people differently and used AKA and Mampintsha as an example to prove his point.

"There's a guy called Mampintsha, you must know him. His wife's name is Babes Wodumo, he was an artist in Big Nuz. When he died the government jumped like popcorn to bury him, and they rightly said many people are gonna come to the funeral, it will be a burden for the family.

When another guy died AKA, the government didn't jump but they refused to help the family. The difference between AKA and Mampintsha is this one is coloured and this one is black. And they always help the black and they never help the coloured."

The video quickly spread on the social media platform, sparking heated reactions from people.
