Mampintsha said he was merely defending himself, when he was filmed on Instagram slapping Simelane.

 

"On that night Babes came home at around midnight and beat me up with a Gucci sandal on my lips and the sandal is as hard as a tyre.

 

“I wanted to go and wash the blood off my lip but she kept on hitting me, there were children and housekeepers in the house while the altercation took place."

 

Mampintsha said the relationship is now a thing of the past.

 

He told one of incident where Simelane allegedly hit him with a stick on his legs until he called her family for help.

 

"If Babes would stop drinking alcohol she would be fine.”

 

Our drivers and workers have witnessed babes beating me up, it’s just that they will not speak because they fear their jobs, because they are employed by her,"

 

Mampintsha has opened a counter case of assault against Babes.
