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.”
…She told me she was old and that she was leaving. She asked if everyone was around, and I said yes. She wanted to see Sponge, Mampintsha’s son and I told her he was not around. I could see the sadness in her eyes, but she did not say anything. She gave us her blessings and we spent a bit of time with her. We then left. At about 10:00 pm I received a call informing me that she’s dead,” continued Pinki.
Pinki also told the publication that she was not coping with the deaths of her brother and mother, “I am definitely not coping, it’s a double sword for me. I lost two important people within a space of three weeks. But what makes things even harder is that we were not financially prepared for this. As far as policies are concerned, Mampintsha took care of everything. We were still trying to get things in order, but I guess the time was not on our side”.
Zamanguni Gumede Confirmed Dead
According to Mampintsha’s sister Pinki Maphumulo, their mother, Zamanguni was fine during the day when they visited her, she was even making jokes and everyone was laughing.
Barely a day later, Pinki says the hospital then called her back because her mother had asked to see them but when she arrived at the hospital she was already surrounded by doctors in drips.
