Speaking in an interview on TruFM on 8 March 2026, MaKhumalo revealed that despite packing her bags and leaving due to constant mistreatment, she is standing by her husband, and underscored the impact he made in her life.

"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."

Musa Mseleku throws shade at critics following Thobile "MaKhumalo" Khumalo's interview

In an interview exclusively shared with Briefly News, MaKhumalo shared how she deals with people taking her words out of context and creating false narratives about her and her family.

"Everyone has freedom of speech, and there is nothing we can do about that. When we decided to be on a reality show, we opened ourselves up to people’s opinions, whether they are good or bad, and we cannot blame them for that. When people watch the show, they analyse it in the way they see and understand it.
"However, I do wish people would try to understand certain situations better before claiming to know what is happening. It is not always easy, but it is something we have chosen to be part of. As difficult as it may be at times, life goes on."

Meanwhile, despite her husband's hurtful comments about her fertility issues, MaKhumalo proclaimed that not even that was enough to make her leave her beloved husband.

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."
