This, as authorities work to authenticate the video which purports to show musician Mampintsha violentlyHer family has said the video is real and not a publicity stunt and that she will lay charges over the matter.National Police Spokesperson, Vish Naidoo, says their investigation will be strengthened if someone who witnessed the abuse or if Babes Wodumo herself came forward to give a statement.
“In a case like this, we can take over the case as a state case. Where we can know if it’s been witnessed by a police officer or if it’s witnessed by an individual who’s prepared to give us a statement we can register a docket and investigate it. But ultimately, the most important thing is to have an opportunity to interview the victim, but we cannot take the video itself.
Babes Wodumo’s sister, Nondumiso, says the artist is traumatised and will definitely be pressing charges against Mampintsha. “I can confirm that it has happened. It’s not a story for any campaign. I think my sister’s tears is not worth any campaign for now. The moment I saw him lay a hand on her, I went blank because it has been years. This is not the first time this is happening. Sometimes I feel helpless. She is definitely gonna press charges. I think the time has come for her to she realise that ‘if I don’t stop this now, this time I am going to die.

Lol, but when politicians from the ruling party rob the South African public of billions and actually ruin lives we're told the public should open a case but with celebrities the police open cases without anyone from the public opening 1, these double standards
What's the use if there's no complainant to testify to that effect?
Why police 👮 can't do the same to Zizi and Mabe cases of rape
What are they waiting for...

cci_network As great as that is; what about the thousands of women where there is clear evidence of abuse? Will the same be offered to them..
