Despite reports that said Babes is banned from attending the funeral because she mourned Zamanguni's son in a strange way, the Wololo singer's sister, Nondumiso Simelane, confirmed that she will pay her respects to Zamanguni.

"I contacted Gumede asking to bring Sponge. They had no problem with our request. Unfortunately, I cannot reveal everything because this is a family matter. But I can assure you that Babes and Sponge will be attending the funeral."
