‘I LAID ON HIS CHEST FOR TWO HOURS’
During the same Instagram Live session, Babes opened up about her heartbreaking reaction to the news of Mampintsha’s passing. Her husband succumbed to a stroke in December last year.
“When I arrived [at the hospital] they had covered him with something white that had a zip,” Babes said as she wiped the tears from her face.
“I said to them ‘my man can’t breathe,’ they unzipped the cadaver bag.”

Babes shared that Mampintsha used to tell her that she should take a picture of him should he pass away first. She said she told him to do the same should she pass before him.
“I was there, feeling like I’m losing my mind. My sister was there, Icebolethu Funerals was also there. I slept for two hours… For two hours I laid on his chest.
“After two hours, they took him. I left with them and I kept telling them ‘you’re hurting him’. I was not in the right state of mind. I kept looking for cameras, thinking it was all just a prank,” she said.
