Title: Babes Wodumo Parts Ways with Showmax, Prepares for Season 3 of Uthando Lodumo
South African music artist and dancer, Babes Wodumo, professionally known as Bongekile Simelane, has made headlines by severing ties with Showmax in favor of a more lucrative opportunity.
The decision comes as anticipation mounts for the third season of “Uthando Lodumo,” a reality show delving into the lives of late gqom superstar Mampintsha and his wife, Babes Wodumo.
Despite Mampintsha’s untimely passing in December 2022, discussions surrounding the show’s continuation emerged last year when Babes Wodumo hinted at the forthcoming season via Instagram.
Excitement rippled through social media as fans eagerly awaited updates on the show’s progress. However, recent reports from ZiMoja indicate that “Uthando Lodumo” will find a new home for its third season, departing from its previous platform, Showmax.
According to insiders, Babes Wodumo’s decision to switch platforms was primarily driven by a more financially appealing offer elsewhere. Sources close to the artist reveal that while some episodes were filmed under the Showmax banner, Babes Wodumo opted to withhold their airing, citing concerns over compensation adequacy.
In addition to the upcoming season’s content, reports suggest that elements of Mampintsha’s funeral will be integrated into select episodes, providing a poignant reflection on the couple’s journey amidst personal and professional challenges.
As anticipation mounts for “Uthando Lodumo” Season 3, Babes Wodumo’s strategic move underscores the evolving landscape of digital content distribution and the importance of securing equitable partnerships in the entertainment industry.
