Babes breaks her silence, recounts Karabo Mokoena’s brutal murder

Alleged assault victim and gqom artist Babes Wodumo has broken her
silence by reflecting on the brutal murder of her friend Karaba Mokoena
by her boyfriend at the time.

This is the first time Babes has posted on social media since video
footage of her being slapped several times, allegedly by Mampintsha,
went viral. Babes has laid charges of assault against Mampintsha, who
was released on R2,000 bail on Tuesday.

Mampintsha laid counter assault charges against Babes.

The Wololo hitmaker shared a snap of herself and the late Karabo in a friendly embrace on Instagram.

“In 2017 I lost a friend because of abuse, I could have been next #I’mwalkingaway.

“I could have been next! This could have been you, your sister, your
daughter, your niece…..We are not victims but survivors,” Babes
captioned the post.

On Tuesday, Simelane family spokesperson Sakhile Mhlonishwa Langa
told TshisaLIVE that she was “emotional” and was receiving treatment at
home.

Speaking to journalists outside court on Tuesday, Mampintsha admitted to hitting Babes and alleged that she also beat him.

Several attempts to get comment from the Simelane family by TimesLIVE on Mampintsha’s allegations against Babes went unanswered.
