Reality-TV star **Musa Mseleku** has reportedly welcomed another addition to his large family. His fifth wife, **Samke Khwela**, recently gave birth to their **second child together**. Samke announced the joyful news on Instagram, sharing a photo of herself cradling the newborn with the caption: *“Another one, thank you.”*
However, the post was soon deleted, reportedly because the baby’s arrival is set to be officially revealed in the upcoming **ninth season of *Uthando Nes’thembu***, the popular reality show documenting Mseleku’s polygamous marriage.
Mseleku, 50, who hails from Umzumbe in southern KwaZulu-Natal, has not made a public statement confirming or denying the birth. When asked about it, he said that fans should “wait for Mzansi Magic to tell the full story,” hinting that viewers will see the details unfold on-screen.
This new arrival marks another chapter in the Mseleku family’s growing legacy. Samke joined the family as wife number five, a development that was first revealed during season 8 of *Uthando Nes’thembu*. Their first child was born toward the end of that season, an event that Mseleku celebrated as proof that he was still capable of fatherhood despite his age.
Season 8 of the show ended on a dramatic note, with rising tensions among Mseleku’s wives. The finale captured an emotional moment when the usually composed polygamist broke down in tears, confessing that his lifestyle was taking a toll on him. He admitted that managing multiple marriages was not easy and asked viewers to pray for him and his family.
Fans have since been curious to know how the family has been coping behind the scenes and what to expect from the upcoming season. Many are hoping for a sense of peace and reconciliation among the first three wives — **Busisiwe “MaCele” Mseleku**, **Nokukhanya “Mayeni” Mseleku**, and **Thobile “MaKhumalo” Mseleku** — who have often clashed over issues of time, attention, and respect within the marriage.
Meanwhile, social media has been buzzing with reactions to Samke’s baby announcement. Supporters congratulated the couple, while others expressed concern that the news might further strain relations among the wives. Some fans also questioned whether the birth might reignite tensions, especially given how previous pregnancies have stirred emotional reactions on the show.
Despite the mixed responses, Mseleku’s supporters have praised him for maintaining openness about his polygamous journey and family life. His reality show has sparked national conversations about modern polygamy, gender roles, and family dynamics in South Africa.
As anticipation builds for the new season of *Uthando Nes’thembu*, viewers can expect more drama, heartfelt moments, and possibly more surprises from the Mseleku family — now one member stronger.
