Just a few weeks after the death of her husband, Mampintsha, Babes Wodumo continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. Mister Smeg, a social media star, appears to be her apparent new love interest.
Babes Wodumo has been observed singing on stage, releasing a new tune, and sharing a video of herself using Mampintsha’s cellphone and social media accounts in the days following his death on Christmas Eve.
Mr. Smeg, whose actual name is Michael Bucwa, is well-known for dating fellow celebrities Pearl Thusi and Gigi Lamayne and flirting with countless others on Twitter. He attempted to woo the new widow.
Mr. Smeg posted many photos of the gqom singer and stated, “Babes Wodumo is beautiful.”
Babes Wodumo is a gorgeous woman image.

The model and brand ambassador then volunteered to take the single mother on a date.
He tweeted, “Hey Babes Wodumo, you’re gorgeous, and I adore your music. “May I treat you to lunch?”
Hey Ladies! I admire your beauty and your song, Wodumo. Permit me to take you out to lunch?

However, it soon became evident that Mr. Smeg had another purpose — he was not only attempting to capitalize on Babes Wodumo’s “bad behavior,” but he also used the situation to promote his first single.

In fact, his bravado outraged many Twitter users.
“This is disrespectful, even for you, bro,” tweeted @zandytshabalala.
Do you agree with @colleenxakaza that it’s a tad premature? Six days have passed since her husband’s death, and you’re already inviting her to lunch?”
@yourboyTy: “In our society, it’s too early. Please take a calm pill, man, this time next year.”
