The mother of late hip-hop artist Flabba, Nolwandle Habedi, has warned his girlfriend Sindisiwe Manqele to immediately cease her plans to shoot a documentary involving the artist, imploring her to rather tell the truth about what happened on the night she murdered him.
Manqele was found guilty and sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2016 for fatally stabbing the rapper in a domestic violence tiff at the muso’s house in Alexandra, north of Joburg in April 2015. She was released on parole in May this year after serving half of her sentence.
In a shocking move, Manqele announced on Podcast and Chill with Macg she was shooting a doccie about their relationship, and the flick will be aired by one of the country’s leading media houses.
In an exclusive interview with Sunday World from her home in Orlando West, Soweto, yesterday, Flabba’s mother said she was in a better position to tell the story of the former Squatta Kamp musican’s life and career.
Habedi warned Manqele that because she has her son’s blood in her hands, it will be morally wrong for her to want to cash in on the musician’s brand and legacy without her knowledge or consent.
Relating the matter, Habedi said a crew arrived at her Soweto house and told her that Manqele wanted to extend an olive branch for fatally stabbing her son in the chest.
“Sindi invited me to Sun City about two years ago, saying she wanted to ask for forgiveness and she invited cameras to document our conversation and this is when I said “no” to any documentary, not then and not in future until she comes clean about what really happened,” she said, before breaking down.
She said when she arrived in the crossbar hotel, she had a long chat with Manqele, who allegedly said the testimony she gave in court was not a true reflection of what had happened.
“We went on hear to heart without cameras and I specifically asked her what kind of a person Nkululeko (Flabba) was. She said he was a loving and nurturing person, and that her lawyer had told her what to say in court.
“That is why I insist she should tell the truth about the night she killed my son.”
Habedi also said though Manqele was Flabba’s significant other, she had no right to shoot a documentary about him.
“I just wonder what she is planning to say about my son without my consent, knowing that I rejected the documentary idea from the onset. I don’t want to do a documentary on Nkululeko because this story hurts me so much. I have been through a lot, in and out of hospitals to date.
“Sindi was always obsessed with Nkululeko and my neighbours would highlight this, that’s why I say she should tell me the truth as his mother and not want to surprise me in this documentary,” she said.
When asked if Manqele had visited the grave, she said the family believes so, though she has never asked any of them to accompany her.
Manqele denied exploiting Flabba’s brand and said she does not need Flabba’s family’s permission to shoot the doccie.
“I have spoken to his mother and she forgave me for everything that had happened. I felt this was approval for me to continue with my life and try to find healing,” said Manqele.
