Queen of Gqom music shares her feelings about a letter from prison and surviving on drips
BABES Wodumo, real name Bongekile Simelane, received a heartfelt letter that left her in tears from a man on lockdown known as Baba Malloy in Westville Prison whom she says is like a second father to her. The man was arrested four years ago for shooting his wife dead before turning the gun on himself.
FORGIVING THOSE BEHIND BARS
Babes Wodumo tells Move! that she forgave Baba Malloy.“Baba Malloy made a huge mistake. If God is able to forgive us why should it be hard for us to do the same?” she says, adding that the letter made her want to do more for men like him in prison. “I cried when I received the letter. It really touched my heart. When somebody shows you love and support from prison it makes you want to do more for them,” says Babes. “When he said he wants me to visit him in prison I felt guilty because my father is the one who always visits him.”
