Exclusive: Inside Mampintsha’s Emotional Memorial Services With Pictures and Videos Showing Babes Wodumo

• Mampintsha's memorial service was finally held on 29 December 2022, with family and friends gathering to pay their last respects
• The venue was packed with Mpintsho's acquaintances and they treated the day as a celebration rather than a memorial
• The Big Nuz star's wife, Babes Wodumo, was also among the crowd, bidding farewell to her husband by dancing and singing

Mampintsha's memorial service was well underway on 29 December 2022, at Bishop Vusi Dube's eThekwini Community Chruch in Durban CBD. The emotional farewell comes days after the Big Nuz member died on 24 December 2022.

The 40-year-old had many people worried when he was admitted to King Edward Hospital in Durban for a stroke. Mzansi's prayers changed into tributes after his passing was reported.

Recently, videos and photos of the Ngeke hitmaker's send-off by family, friends and industry colleagues have broken online people's hearts.
