• Nondumiso Simelane, famously known as Babes Wodumo’s sister, has officially turned her back on the entertainment industry to answer a higher calling

For years, Nondumiso Simelane has been a formidable force behind the scenes of the South African music industry. As the fierce manager and sister to Gqom pioneer Babes Wodumo, Nondumiso lived her life under the strobe lights of the entertainment world, weathering intense public scrutiny and navigating scandals. However, in a shocking twist, she has officially traded the dance floor for the church pulpit.

The once-controversial media personality has openly announced her profound spiritual awakening, revealing that she has walked away from the nightlife scene to pursue a full-time path in religious ministry.

Speaking to DailySUN about her radical decision to answer her calling in 2025, Nondumiso reflected on how the fast-paced lifestyle of showbiz ultimately left her empty, prompting her to seek a deeper, more permanent peace.

"After I realised that I have a calling, I decided to pay attention to it. I've changed completely, and I'm certain God is happy with me."

Previously, Nondumiso was said to have a fiery temper, especially when asked about Babes Wodumo. Today, she says it's all in the past, revealing that she doesn't respond to being provoked anymore.

She highlighted that she comes from a strict family of church-goers, headed by her father, Bishop Welcome Simelane, who is a respected church figure and leader of the Mount Zion Faith Mission Church in Durban. She admitted that her past actions contradicted how she was raised.

"I come from a strict family; my parents are church leaders. My behaviour wasn't representing my background; it was a shame."

In 2024, she trended and was ultimately slammed on social media for allegedly driving under the influence. Later that year, calls mounted encouraging Babes to dump her sister as her manager, with fans noting her volatile past.
