Bongekile “Babes Wodumo” Simelane, a Durban-based gqom singer and dancer, has informed fans that her reality program, Uthando Lodumo, will return for season three.
ThandoLodumo Season3 coming soon🙏
The three-part Showmax Original reality series, now in its third season, follows Babes and Mandla Maphumulo, alias Mampintsha, from their proposal live on Gagasi FM in October 2020 through their wedding in November 2020.
According to Sunday World, the show also follows them through marriage counseling, lobola negotiations, pregnancy, and a surprise bridal shower, all the way to their vibrant wedding in April 2021.
In season one, Babes admitted that working with your partner can be challenging but said she was madly in love with Mampintsha and that they made hit songs together.
Uthando Lodumo subjected viewers to the lovebirds as parents to their child Sponge, working on their own music careers, and resolving family issues in season two.
Babes Wodumo tragically lost her spouse, Mampintsha, in December 2022. Maphumulo passed away in a hospital after suffering a small stroke.
The 40-year-old was admitted to the hospital a week after he returned from a performance with Big Nuz.Babes Wodumo has since managed to crack her late husband’s cellphone password.
Earlier this year, she took to social media to inform her followers that she has the password to her late husband’s cellphone.
This comes after she informed mourners at Mampintsha‘s burial in Durban that he never shared the password with her before his tragic death on Christmas Eve.
