"Marrying Mseleku was not a mistake. I would remarry him; I have no regrets. I can't run away, no matter what the situation is; he's the one given to me by God. I think I wanted something different, but it was not going to happen because it was meant to be. This is my journey. If I hadn't married Mseleku, all would not be like this."

The businessman emphasised that, given the chance, she would choose her husband all over again.

She highlighted that she is comfortable in a polygamous arrangement as it's the only marriage setup she knows.

"I would choose to marry Mseleku tomorrow if I had to marry again, whether it's a monogamous or polygamous marriage, because it's the only setup that I know. I'm not even longing to know anything else; I'd rather be single."

NomfunekoSithole said:

"I want to strongly believe that one of the reasons she vows not to turn is because of Mpilo. This woman loves that girl, and the girl loves her too. So she would not have had that chance of being her mother, and to her, it makes everything worth it all."
