South African artist, actor, host, and dancer Babes Wodumo (full name Bongekile Simelane) was born in Lamontville on July 26, 1994. She became well-known in 2016 with her popular song Wololo, which helped establish the Gqom genre. Black Panther: The Album, the soundtrack for the motion picture Black Panther, includes Babes' song Redemption, which has gained popularity in the music industry.

Born in Lamontville, Chatsworth, South Africa, on July 26, 1994. In 2023, she will turn 29. Every year on July 26th, she has a birthday celebration.

Since she was little, she has excelled in acting, dance, sports, and soccer. She was given the nickname "Wodumo" for her abilities in these pursuits.

Her father truly gave her the first name "Babes" when she was born. Her father apparently believed that her daughter's eyes resembled one of the members of a group called "The Babes."

Thokozile and Welcome Simelane are the parents of Bongekile. Bishop Welcome Simelane, the leader of the Lamontville Mount Zion Faith Mission, is her father. Nonduh Simelane is the name of her sister.

Her mother and father encouraged her to pursue a career in social work but did not support her way of life.

Her debut in the music industry came in 2014, when Sir Bubzin released the song "Desha." Following the release of her successful track "Wololo" in 2016, she has been causing quite a stir in the music business.

The song, which features Mampintsha, was performed by Babes on a number of TV programs, including Come Duze, Rhythm City, The MTV Africa Awards, Idols 12, and The South African Music Awards.

She founded the West Ink Dance Academy, which has received multiple award nominations.

Mandla "Mampintsha" Maphumulo, Bongekile's manager, was the man with whom she had a romantic connection. There were rumors that they had wed in secret. The relationship between Mampintsha and Babes Wodumo has had many highs and lows, including the abuse scandal that surfaced earlier in 2019. Online video footage of Mampintsha abusing Babes has leaked. Wodumo brought a criminal complaint against Mampintsha; however, following the success of the parties' mediation, the assault case was dropped.

After the incident, the couple decided to attend relationship counseling and later resumed their relationship.

Her estimated net worth ranges from $1 million to $5 million, which she has earned over her successful career.
