Police have confirmed that a suspect has been arrested in connection with the assault of music star Babes Wodumo.

“A suspect has been arrested but he cannot be named because he has not yet appeared in court,” Brigadier Vish Naidoo said.

Babes was, on Sunday, seen on an Instagram live video – which was later deleted – being assaulted by her long-time boyfriend Mampintsha

Earlier today her family held a short press conference to thank South Africans for their support.
