Performer Babes Wodumo has a laid a charge of assault
against her boyfriend Mandla "Mampintsha" Maphumulo.
It comes after she posted a video showing Maphumulo
physically attacking her. It's caused widespread outrage.
Members of the ANC Women's League Young Women's Desk
accompanied Wodumo to open a case of assault.
The case was opened at the Westville police station. According
to ANCWL YWD spokesperson, Bavelile Hlongwa, the case has been escalated to a
provincial level of the SAPS.
The escalation came in response to reports from Simelane's
father, Mbongeni Simelane, that reports made to the Westville police station
were not taken seriously.
Hlongwa stated Simelane is not in a good mental or physical
condition following the assault that was caught on camera after she broadcast
it on her Instagram account.
Simelane propped up her camera in her bedroom just as
Maphumulo started beating her. The shock and fury quickly hit social media.
Babes Wodumo is expected to brief the media on Tuesday.
