South African Gqom star Babes Wodumo has returned to her parents’ home to recover following a recent hospitalization.
News of her move back with her family surfaced over two months ago, as she reportedly took time off to rest and recuperate after a serious health issue. Fans and followers may recall hearing concerns about her health a few weeks back, as it was rumored that Babes was in critical condition. However, she later posted a video of herself freestyling to music in a car, putting to rest some of the worst fears.
According to a source speaking with Z Mojo, Babes Wodumo is currently recuperating from what is believed to be a lung-related condition. The source confirmed that she is in stable condition, recovering steadily, and under the care of her family. The source also expressed optimism about Babes’s improving health, adding that she is working to be fully prepared for the festive season.
Babes Wodumo, known for her high-energy performances and massive contributions to the South African music scene, faced both personal and health challenges this year. Her hospitalization came after the tragic passing of her husband, Mampintsha, earlier this year.
Mampintsha, himself a celebrated musician, left behind not only his music but also unfinished work that Babes is now dedicating herself to completing.
Close sources say Babes Wodumo is committed to finishing Mampintsha’s final album, which he began before his passing. According to those familiar with the project, he had already started producing music for his next release, but before he could complete it, DJ Tira encouraged him to collaborate on a larger music project.
As a result, Babes now holds an extensive collection of unreleased music that she is working on completing. The music is significant, as it represents Mampintsha’s creative legacy, and Babes sees it as an opportunity to honor him by bringing his final vision to life.
Despite these challenges, Babes is setting her sights on a hopeful future. Her return to her parents’ home is viewed as a temporary measure to help her regain her strength. Those close to her say that she is taking time to rest and recover fully, with the goal of making a triumphant return to music and live performances. She is particularly focused on the upcoming festive season, hoping to be ready to perform for her fans with her usual energy.
For fans and supporters, Babes’ journey highlights the resilience she has shown in recent times. While she has experienced loss, she remains focused on her goals and honoring her husband’s legacy through music.
Babes has shared that completing Mampintsha’s final album is one of her top priorities and a way to keep his memory alive. Additionally, this project allows her to channel her emotions into music, a medium that has always been central to her life and career.
The South African music industry, and indeed her fans worldwide, are eagerly awaiting her return. Many of them are looking forward to seeing her back on stage, doing what she loves most and sharing her passion for music. Babes Wodumo’s story is a reminder of the importance of health, family support, and the healing power of music, even in the face of adversity.
In the meantime, Babes Wodumo continues to rest and recover in the supportive environment of her family’s home. Her focus remains on self-care, preparing for the release of Mampintsha’s album, and ensuring she is ready for the festivities ahead. Fans are encouraged to stay connected, as Babes is expected to share more updates in the coming months.
This challenging period has shown Babes Wodumo’s incredible strength and determination. As she rebuilds her life, health, and career, she is proving to be a source of inspiration for many who may also be going through difficult times. Babes Wodumo is not only a talented artist but also a resilient individual, and her journey reminds us all of the healing power that comes from focusing on what truly matters: family, health, and the music that brings us all together.
