NATIONAL NEWS - Police Commissioner Kehla Sithole was interviewed on SABC’s Morning Live on Tuesday, where he gave the police three hours to find and apprehend producer and kwaito musician Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo.
This three-hour deadline began at 7am and will end at 10am.
Police told the SABC that Mampintsha was currently missing, adding that they had a warrant out for his arrest and urging anyone with information to come forward.
Sithole confirmed that pop star and gqom queen Babes Wodumo, real name Bongekile Simelane, has laid charges against Maphumelo after he allegedly assaulted her.
An Instagram Live video, posted by Simelane, in which she can be seen being beaten, allegedly by Mampintsha, has caused widespread shock and outrage.
The Citizen reported yesterday that Simelane was seen at the Westville Police Station in Durban on Monday. The family spokesperson, Sakhile Mhlonishwa, confirmed an assault case was opened.
