Social media has been buzzing after the latest episode of Uthando Nes'Thembu aired on Thursday, 1 May 2025.

The online user also hinted at how distasteful it was for him to say that in public about his wife. This happened weeks after Thobile seemingly removed the Mseleku surname from her Instagram profile.

"Mseleku also said Makhumalo is getting all these exposure and opportunities because she is 'Mrs Mseleku.' It says a lot about this man 🚩He deserves everything that's happening to him."

Viewers react to Mseleku not posting wife number five

Meanwhile, Musa Mseleku introduced his fifth wife, but fans are not feeling her. People dragged him for not showing love to his fifth wife, who is in her 20s, while flaunting his other wives. Fans are curious why Musa rarely posts MaKhwela and if he even spends time with her as he does his other wives. Relationship expert and psychologist Paulsa Quinsee spoke to Briefly News about what Musa Mseleku and MaKhwela can do to strengthen their bond.

"Busy schedules and career demands can reduce our quality time together, causing couples to grow apart," she said.

Seeing that this is a polygamous relationship, Musa has to make sure he equally divides his time spent with all of his wives.

Mseleku praises MaCele for supporting him

In contrast, Mseleku recently publicly praised MaCele. The popular polygamist showed love to his first wife, MaCele, for supporting him after he introduced his 5th wife, MaKhwela. Earlier on, Briefly News reported that Musa shared a reel of pictures of them both on his Instagram and paired it with a cute message.

"Supporting your husband like Indlunkulu MaCele will make you to be hated by many," he wrote.

Many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions to Musa's post about his MaCele. Here's what they had to say:

Instagram user cassandra_kgomotso wrote: "Aowa, you guys have a mother and son relationship, so she is a mother-in-law to your wives in her head. There is nothing going on between you and MaCele."
Siko_smart_food41 commented: "Even hated by those who support their hubbies financially, who are breadwinners but will hate MaCele for supporting her hubby on his love for Isithembu, I love how MaCele carries herself, the respect she gives her hubby is 10/10."
