South African polygamist Musa Mseleku and his fifth wife, Samke 'MaKhwela' Khwela, were said to be expecting their second baby together; the businessman's 12th child.

Is MaKhwela pregnant?

In November 2025, MaKhwela took to her Instagram stories and revealed that she had given birth to another baby. Sharing a photo while holding the baby, MaKhwela wrote, "Another one, thank you."

However, the story was removed hours later. According to Daily Sun, this was due to the Uthando Nes'thembu production wanting to announce the news during the Season 9 taping of the reality show. Even Mseleku refused to speak about the baby news, stating that Mzansi Magic would be sharing the news.

However, in the recent interview, MaKhwela firmly said that she was not pregnant and the rumours were not true. In 2025, she welcomed her first child, Musa's 11th, and photos of the baby have been circulating on social media. It was revealed that his third wife, MaKhumalo, questioned the paternity of the baby and demanded a DNA test to be done.

Speaking about motherhood, MaKhwela said she has been transformed forever.

"Motherhood has transformed me in the most beautiful way, yet it is the most challenging role I have ever had to take on. It has softened me, strengthened me and given me a deeper purpose in life. I’m learning every day about patience and unconditional love."

She advised people to watch the show, stating that it's authentically raw and touches on topics many might be afraid to speak on.

"People should watch the show because it’s real. It shows love, challenges, growth, culture and the complexity of the family. It sparks the conversations that many people are afraid to have openly."

MaKhwela said being in the public eye has invited prying eyes, as well as people who genuinely love her.

Now in its 9th season, Uthando Nes'thembu airs twice a week on Mzansi Magic.
