Babes Wodumo Reflects on Heritage Day and Her Musical Journey: “The Experience Was Breathtaking”

Babes Wodumo, the energetic Wololo hitmaker, was among those who attended the Heritage Day celebrations in KwaDukuza, just north of Durban. The event, marked by traditional Zulu songs, dances, and vibrant attire, left Babes Wodumo  in awe of the rich culture on display. She also had her sights set on meeting King Misuzulu kaZwelithini, expressing deep admiration for the monarch.

“If I had met the king, I would’ve praised him. Thank you for leading us with passion, with no fear. As much as it was big shoes to fill, you took it with pride. We have no doubt you’ll lead us with integrity and honour. We trust you,” she shared with TshisaLIVE.

Reflecting on the Heritage Day event, Babes Wodumo spoke fondly of the powerful atmosphere. “The experience was breathtaking. I saw Zulu culture in a different light. Everyone was rejoicing and proud of being Zulu. The colours, songs, dances — it was amazing. I don’t regret coming to witness such an amazing event,” she said.

As she soaked in the cultural experience, Babes Wodumo is also busy preparing for her next big move in music. After her recent collaboration on DJ Kotin’s track Nzo Nzo Nzo,  fans are eagerly awaiting her upcoming album. “I’m already shooting music videos. My team thought it’s best we release in October because my album will take them to the December feeling instantly,” she revealed.

With her next performance around the corner, Babes Wodumo promised to give her all to her fans. “This weekend I’m performing, and I’m taking everyone for a ride on my musical journey. I’m going all out on that stage. I’ll dance until my lungs fail me. I want to leave that stage knowing I gave my fans my all.”
