Babes Wodumo, the Gqom sensation whose real name is Bongekile Simelane, has been receiving an outpouring of advice from her fans. Following a thought-provoking Facebook post by Durban music promoter Dogg DBN, fans are urging the star to consider making some significant changes to her management team.
The post in question asked followers, “I wanna know from you, what would it take for Babes Wodumo to make a major comeback? Look at this from a business perspective.” The consensus? A change in the managerial lineup.

Currently, Babes Wodumo’s career is managed by her sister, Nondumiso, who has been steadfast in her role. However, the fans think this arrangement is part of the problem.
One vocal fan commented, “Isistera (sister) needs to be professional nje kuqala (first of all). Having your friend/relative/partner as a manager doesn’t usually work out. She has faced numerous setbacks lately because of this, and it’s clear she needs to understand that she should move her sister out of her management team. A good PR team is crucial.”
While some fans are calling for a new manager, others are more focused on Babes Wodumo’s creative output.
One user insightfully noted, “Babes Wodumo’s comeback depends on her ability to create and share music and content that resonates with both old and new fans. No re-introduction needed.”
Another added, “Dogg DBN, Babes will always be good but the problem is she needs to get new writers to keep her more alive. Her appearance, vocals delivery, performance – it’s on top – she will also be relevant. She’s fire, trust me.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Nondumiso, Babes Wodumo’s sister, has dismissed the suggestions, labelling them merely opinions. According to the DailySun, she reiterated her commitment to supporting her sister, regardless of what the fans think.
It’s a classic case of sticking to one’s guns amidst a sea of differing opinions. Will this stubborn determination pay off, or could a managerial shake-up indeed be the key to Babes Wodumo’s much-desired comeback? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – her fans are watching closely and rooting for her every step of the way.
