Tensions appear to be boiling over in the famously polygamous Mseleku household, known to millions of South African viewers through the hit reality show *Uthando Nes’thembu*. According to recent reports and social media buzz, significant changes have taken place at Musa Mseleku’s Mzumbe homestead. It is being alleged that three of his wives—MaYeni, MaNgwabe, and MaKhumalo—have vacated the family residence, leaving only his newest wife, Samke “MaKhwela” Mseleku, behind.
The Mseleku family has long drawn both admiration and scrutiny for their polygamous lifestyle. Patriarch Musa Mseleku is married to four women: MaYeni, MaNgwabe, MaKhumalo, and MaCele. Recently, however, he introduced a fifth wife, Samke, into the already complex family dynamic—a move that has reportedly triggered discontent within the household.
MaNgwabe and MaYeni had, in previous seasons of *Uthando Nes’thembu*, expressed concerns about Musa’s intention to expand the family. MaNgwabe, in particular, had firmly stated that she would not stay in the marriage if Musa pursued a fifth wife. With Samke now officially part of the family, it appears MaNgwabe has stayed true to her word. Similarly, MaYeni is said to have followed suit, packing up and leaving the Mzumbe homestead.
Contrary to earlier assumptions that MaKhumalo was still residing at the homestead, recent insider claims reveal that she, too, has reportedly moved out. This revelation comes amid growing speculation about internal family tensions. MaKhumalo, who has traditionally been perceived as diplomatic and loyal, has recently adopted a more assertive stance. Viewers of the show noticed her openly questioning Musa’s decisions and expressing frustration about being sidelined in family discussions.
Interestingly, Samke—also referred to as MaKhwela—is the only wife currently staying at the Mzumbe homestead, if reports are to be believed. Her presence has stirred controversy, not only within the family but also among fans of the show. Some viewers feel her entry has disrupted the delicate balance among the existing wives, while others sympathize with her as someone caught in the crossfire of longstanding familial tensions.
As the situation continues to develop, many are watching to see how Musa Mseleku will navigate this period of upheaval. Thus far, he has not made any official public statements regarding the departure of his wives. The silence has only fueled speculation, with fans taking to social media to express their support, concern, or criticism of the ongoing drama.
*Uthando Nes’thembu* continues to air on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161), and with these new revelations, viewers can expect even more gripping content in the episodes to come. For now, the Mseleku household appears to be in a state of flux, leaving fans wondering whether reconciliation is possible—or if this marks the beginning of a permanent shift in the family’s structure.
