Babes Wodumo, one of South Africa’s most beloved singers and performers, is set to give fans an unprecedented look into her life with her highly anticipated reality show, Wena Wodumo. Following the release of the trailer, excitement is building as fans eagerly await a series that promises to answer many questions surrounding her personal and professional journey.
The trailer, which has already sparked conversations on social media, offers a captivating glimpse into Babes Wodumo’s everyday experiences, relationships, and the challenges she’s faced throughout her career. According to IOL, Wena Wodumo aims to provide an intimate portrayal of the musician’s life, showcasing not only her career triumphs but also the personal struggles that have shaped her story. With her signature vibrant personality and engaging storytelling, fans can expect a series filled with joy, vulnerability, and perhaps a few unexpected twists along the way.
The trailer stands out with its emotional moment when a male voice confronts Babes, claiming she is not Mampintsha’s wife. This leads Babes to open up about the painful discovery she made when she went through her late husband’s phone and found messages from other women. The raw moment, shared in the trailer, has left fans even more eager to tune in to the show to see how Babes navigates her life after Mampintsha’s tragic passing.
Social media is abuzz with anticipation as fans express their excitement for the show’s premiere. One fan commented, “You’re reality TV gold. I hope there will be many seasons,” while another added, “One thing about you, you were made for fame. You did not lie when you called yourself ‘Babes Wodumo’. You are the star that you think you are!”
Reality television is not new territory for Babes Wodumo. In 2021, she and her late husband, Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo, featured in their own reality series, Uthando Lodumo, which aired on Showmax. The couple returned for a second season in 2022, giving fans a closer look at their life together. However, with Mampintsha’s tragic passing and Babes now a single mother to their only son, she is embarking on a new chapter, navigating a complex emotional journey while rebuilding her life.
Nondu Simelane, Babes’ sister and manager, teased the dramatic elements viewers can expect, saying, “There’s going to be a lot of drama from when Mampintsha was at the mortuary to life now. It’s our journey, and a lot is going to be revealed.”
Wena Wodumo will premiere on Moja Love (DStv Channel 157) on Saturday, March 29, at 8:30 pm. Fans can expect a deeply personal and engaging series that offers an intimate look into the life of one of South Africa’s biggest stars.
