Mampintsha’s moms last words before she died
Zamanguni Gumede, Mampintsha’s mother, passed away a few weeks after burying her son.
Gumede was recently admitted to the hospital after she suffered a stroke. Mandla, a Big Nuz musician, is her son who also died a few days after he suffered a minor stroke.
“Mampintsha” Maphumulo, died on Christmas eve after also suffering a stroke.

Mampintsha’s sister Pinki Gumede confirmed the news to TimesLIVE.
She said Gumede called her just before passing to ask her and her children to come to say goodbye.
“She called us at 10 pm to come to visit her at the hospital, me and my children. When we arrived she said she wanted to say her last goodbyes. She left us at 11 pm.
“She held our hands and gave us all a message. She said she was saying goodbye. Her last words to me were that I should look after the children and she will miss Mampintsha’s son”.

Gumede had asked Pinki to bring Mampintsha’s son to the hospital, but she told her mother she would bring him in the morning.
“She said there was no time. She told us she loved us and we should look after ourselves. She said that she was very tired”.
Pinki said she was heartbroken at the loss of her mother and brother in a matter of weeks.
“I don’t know why they have left me. I am not okay.”
Last week Pinki said her mother was not coping with Mampintsha’s death.
“She is not taking Mandla’s death well. She started feeling ill before him but got worse when he was admitted to the hospital,” she said.

She said Gumede needed private medical care and psychological assistance to deal with losing Mampintsha, but they were hopeful about her recovery.
“The doctor says her liver has been affected and she had a stroke. But her stroke is not bad. She will not be disabled if she takes her medication. She has not been able to eat properly and that is affecting how she takes her medication.”
