Bongekile ‘Babes Wodumo’ Simelane and her hubby Mandla Maphumulo, revered in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) as Mampintsha, are weeks away from premiering their reality TV show Uthano Lodumo and fans are in for a whirlwind of a journey in the couple’s rollercoaster ride of a relationship.
When is Uthando Lodumo release date?
It is no secret that Wodumo and Mampintsha have had their fair share of tribulations in their long stint as a famous couple.
Who will ever forget the horrors of Wodumo’s Instagram Live where the Big Nuz member was seen by thousands pummelling the Gqom songstress in the face?
But in a love affair as fierce as theirs, incidents such as these can be forgiven if both parties are willing to come together to reach a compromise.
From the Uthando Lodumo trailer Showmax released earlier this week, we are treated to teasers of what promises to be one of the most-watched reality TV shows in South Africa.
The show will show fans an inside look into how the couple matured from the ills of their casual relationship. We will get to see the hard labour both parties put into transforming their highly publicised — and to some extent — toxic affair into a marriage blessed by ancestors of their respective clans.
Uthando Lodumo is a Showmax exclusive that is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday 30 June 2021.
How many episodes will the show have?
As exciting of a prospect this promises to be for the couple’s fans, they will be justified in finding fault at the fact that Uthando Lodumo is a three-episode series.
However, Thomas Gumede, renowned actor and co-owner of Parental Advisory Productions, is adamant that this three-part docuseries will hold all the shockers and unpredictable twists and turns that will keep Mzansi in a binge.
“No one will be able to predict everything that happens in this show. We know it’s going to start a lot of conversations,” he said.
Babes Wodumo, Mampintsha welcome a baby
if anything, Uthando Lodumo will serve as a cleanse in the couple’s public image. But, perhaps, a greater blessing Wodumo and Mampintsha received came earlier this week when the couple welcomed a baby.
Wodumo has yet to make an official unveiling of the newborn.
