Babes shows she’s boss in her world
Gqom queen Babes Wodumo (Bongekile Simelane) has been hailed for confronting a woman who was rude to her while she and other travellers were waiting to claim their baggage at OR Tambo International Airport.
The Wololo hitmaker lost it after an older woman told her and her friends to “shhh”.
Babes and her companions didn’t take too kindly to that.
The video, which was captured from a live stream on Babes’ Instagram, begins with Babes’ unidentified companion running after the woman to confront her.
They then ask her: “siyizinkukhu zakho thina?” which means: “are we your chickens?”
They continue to pose the question to her in Zulu before switching to English and asking her: “why are you saying ‘shhh!’ Are we your chickens?”
The woman tries to answer Wodumo and her friend, but they don’t give her a chance to speak so she turns to airport staff for help.
Babes’ and her friend are still trying to establish why she did what she did.
The woman gives up after pleading with airport staff to no avail.
She walks away while Babes hurls a mixture of English and Zulu profanities at her.
Babes then flips the camera around to face herself.
She recounts what happened for her followers before greeting them. – Citizen reporter
