Bongekile Simelane “Babes Wodumo” and Mandla “Mampinstha” Maphumlo tied the knot on Sunday after announcing their engagement six months ago.
The musical couple who frequently work together have been together for 10 years. Their relationship has always been a hot topic but they seem to have put that behind them and their nuptials were as flamboyant as they are.
The traditional wedding took place in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal and videos and pictures were shared on social media by guests.
The now husband and wife were dressed in a similar colour scheme, green with a Zulu inspired look and patterns. There were also traditional dances.
