After much speculation, she has confirmed the return of season three of Uthando Lodumo. Since the death of her husband, things have not been easy for Gqom queen Bongekile "Babes Wodumo" Simelane. She has grieved, fallen ill, and overcome some financial struggles but she returns to share life after Mampintsha's passing in season three of her reality show.

The Wololo singer tells ZiMoja that the show must go on. "It feels great to be getting back into the swing of things again," she says. "I had my time to grieve properly, so I'm just so excited," Having to parent her son without Mampintsha and continue to run their music business and her career has not been easy. "It's been different without my Mampintsha. I had to learn to make decisions on my own. Before I used to make decisions with Mampintsha, so I'm doing everything on my own with the help of my team, but all is well," she adds. This season of her reality show, Babes says viewers can expect more drama. "More drama, a lot about how my life has been after the passing of my husband, my struggles and challenges of being a single mom having to wear my queen crown with pride and finding my feet, she says.

She is also currently working on her new project. "My album is coming out next month, fans will get to hear the last magic we poured out on this album," she says. "Plus, next year I'll be releasing Mampintsha's album as well. The project is done, he was going to release this year, but I'll carry on as planned fans are going to love it." It's been hard learning to live without Mampintsha but Babes is taking it one day at a time. "At times it's lonely, having to have this big house all by myself, no more funny remarks from him. Its been challenging but I must say I've handled it very well because life should go on."
