It ends with a tense argument between him and his second wife, MaYeni.
User, @zeek50101, captioned the video:
"Mseleku doesn’t want to see us quiet. What is he doing? Didn’t he say he’ll put a pause to this? Also, didn’t MaCele explicitly say she doesn’t attend his wife's events? Xoki lomama!"
MaKhwela's lobola drama under spotlight
On Season 9 of the reality show, MaKhwela's lobola drama came under the spotlight, with the other wives questioning who paid it, since Musa was at the hospital when it was supposedly paid.
Musa's fourth wife, MaNgwabe, asked who paid MaKhwela's lobola, claiming that Musa Mseleku had no idea when she asked him about it.
"And when I asked Mthombeni about the lobola which we saw on TV, he said he knows nothing about that because he was sick. Even the money that was used, he said he did not know where it came from," she said. "Who was behind the finances and everything when the lobola was paid?"
MaCele let out a loud sigh, painting herself as the culprit. Trying to defend herself, she asked where she would get the money to pay lobola, because she has no money.
In the same episode, MaKhwela asked Mseleku when the delegation, which was part of the negotiations, would go to her home to pay the remainder of the lobola. He told her to ask MaCele about that, as he had no idea.
