While the tension within the Mseleku household has been reaching a boiling point in recent episodes of Uthando Nesthembu, Musa Mseleku offered a moment of pure, unscripted comedy that finally broke the ice.

On 13 March 2026, Mzansi Magic shared a preview of the show, where the famous polygamist had viewers and social media followers in stitches when the heavy topic of divorce was brought to the table during his diary session with his wife, Nokukhanya "MaYeni" Mseleku.

He emphasised in several colourful words that divorce would never be an option in his household.

"Divorce? You're talking rubbish. It doesn't exist here."

This comes after Mseleku found himself at the centre of a social media storm over his troubled marriage to Thobile "MaKhumalo" Mseleku, after making hurtful comments about her fertility.

While they seem to be making progress in resolving their issues, with MaKhumalo defending her marriage during a recent interview, it's clear that neither one of them is willing to give up on what they've built.

Meanwhile, his four other marriages appear to have also hit a rough patch over the past few months, with his fourth wife, Mbali "MaNgwabe", having threatened to leave after wife number five, Samke "MaKhwela", was introduced.

In the most recent episodes, Mseleku organised a retreat for his first four wives, aiming to mend their fractured relationships through group bonding and professional therapy sessions. This move highlights his commitment to addressing the recent turmoil and his desire to find common ground with his partners.
