Afrotainment's Captain breaks silence on 'impersonating' Mampintsha
Captain has been gaining recognition with his gqom-influenced tracks Cinderella and Senze Njani. Mandla 'Mampintsha' Maphumulo, a prominent figure in the local music scene and member of Big Nuz, passed away on December 24 2022 after a stroke. During an interview on Gagasi FM's Urban Top 40 with Heazy Madida, Captain, whose real name is Sphamandla Mathebula, dismissed the claims that he is hard at work trying to be Mampintsha, 'I look up to Mampintsha. I learned a lot from him and, believe it or not, he learned a lot from me,' he said. 'I am not going to go into it because a lot of things have been said. I don't have a problem with everything that has been said because it's someone else's opinion, and I don't have the right to deny that. 'I will never act like Mampintsha. I will never be him. He taught me a lot of things, and I had to be taught for me to be ready to sing.'

New kid on the block Captain accused of impersonating Mampintsha
Newly signed Afrotainment singer Captain has been accused of impersonating Mampintsha. Captain, real name Siphamandla Mathebula, is known for his debut single Cinderella featuring Danger, which has sparked controversy among Durban entertainers who accused him of impersonating the late Big Nuz member. Mampintsha died in 2022 at Durban hospital after a short illness, leaving his group member Danger in the cold. Many video clips have been circulating showing Babes Wodumo expressing her anger towards Captain. A source close to West Ink (record label and production company) suggested Captain is a 'plant' in the music industry to bring the kwaito group Big Nuz back to its glory days. 'Captain used to be (West Ink founder) Mampintsha's driver. It is evident he studied Mampintsha's flow, dance moves and dress code. All his years working as Mampintsha's driver he was envying the guy. A lot of people are angry, not only Babes Wodumo', he said. Another source said: 'Captain's collaboration with Danger was going to be a gateway for Big Nuz's comeback, but their plan has gone up in flames. It might be the beginning of the end for him as he was aiming for the mega prize, which was ending up being on Big Nuz's album sleeve.'
