Prayers up for the daughter of popular polygamist and reality TV star Musa Mseleku, Mpiloenhle 'Mpilo' Mseleku, who revealed that she was hospitalised. Mpilo’s hospitalisation comes after her father opened up on his health issues during the recent season of Uthando Nes’thembu.

In a video seen by the publication, Mpilo Mseleku recounted how she ended up admitted in a hospital and receiving treatment for a curved spine.

“I have been having chronic back pain for a while now and I realised I was not well. I found out my spine was curved due to muscle spasms, and we needed to know why those muscle spasms were happening,” Mpilo Mseleku said.

The Izingane Zes’thembu star revealed that she underwent ultrasound scans to determine what was causing the chronic back pain. While she did not reveal the exact results of the scan, Mpilo Mseleku was devastated that the doctors found something but was still optimistic.

“I hate that for me, but it’s not the end of the world,” she said.

Mpilo then went on to share details of her hospital stay, revealing how the staff had made her stay in the hospital bearable.

“I have been trying to sleep, but I haven’t been able to do so, but the hospital staff were great and the food was good,” Mpilo shared.

She also shared that her family and friends visited her after she spent two days in hospital. Mpilo shared that she was in constant pain every hour of the day.

“I am in constant pain 24 hours a day,” she added.
