A video of a woman impersonating Babes Wodumo at Mampitsha’s memorial service held last week has annoyed several netizens.
The footage posted on Twitter by @kulanicool came after Babes honoured her husband's memory by celebrating his music at his memorial service.
Briefly News earlier reported that Babes started dancing when one of Mampintsha's songs was played, and fellow mourners took out their cameras to record the moment.
An unnamed woman has since jumped on the opportunity to record a video of herself imitating and dressed similarly to Babes and holding a doll mimicking Sponge (Babes and Mampitsha’s son) as she dances to the track Ngeke.
