Mpumelelo “Sbindi” Mseleku and Amahle Gasela Allegedly Call It Quits Following MaYeni Drama

• Social media is buzzing following the reports that Mpumelelo "Sbindi" Mseleku had broken up with his wife, Amahle Gasela
• The couple has allegedly been going through a rough patch, with online users convinced that Amahle had finally "chosen her peace"
• This comes after Sbindi's mom revealed that she was excluded from Amahle's lobola preparations and thus, she did not recognise her as her daughter-in-law

The Mseleku family drama is once again trending on social media following the rumours that Mpumelelo "Sbindi" Mseleku and his wife, Amahle Gasela, had broken up.

The Sunday gossip on X (formerly Twitter) was sizzling on 24 May 2026 when online users speculated that the young couple, who got married in mid-2025 and welcomed their first child together months later, had called it quits, with no official reason as to what led to the alleged break-up. However, netizens speculated on what could be the cause.

According to a screenshot shared by Nombu_Sodi, one of the reasons that led the couple to drift apart was Sbindi's mother, Nokukhanya "MaYeni"'s alleged disapproval of his wife.

"Mayeni's supposed disapproval of Amahle, leading Amahle to feel unwelcome."

This stems from MaYeni's tearful remarks on Uthando Nesthembu, where she revealed that her son and husband, Musa, had excluded her from the lobola preparations for Sbindi and Amahle. The reality TV star emphasised that she can't acknowledge a daughter-in-law whom she was not formally introduced to.

On the other hand, speculation suggests that Amahle may be feeling isolated as her husband allegedly focuses most of his attention on her sister wife, Tirelo Kale. It is believed that despite the trio often bonding and displaying unity within their polygamous household, things might not be as rosy behind closed doors. Netizens have pointed out that balancing a polygamous marriage at such a young age comes with immense emotional pressure, and the alleged favouritism may have taken a toll on Amahle.

Meanwhile, several users went further by speculating that Amahle's recent social media activity suggested that she had either emotionally checked out of her marriage or had in fact left Sbindi.

"She did right, she is too young to be with a man who has kids all over."

"Amahle is young and deserves so much better than Sbindi and his mini-sthembu. Plus Tirelo is in charge there by Mzumbe and looking at her relationship with MaYeni, Mahle was gonna be the third wheel."

Mfundos_dan encouraged Amahle:

"You deserve better, baby girl. Choose yourself always."

Meanwhile, others weren't convinced by the rumours; instead, they speculated that the drama was orchestrated to build up to the return of Izingane Zesthembu.

"I'm not falling for this. They're creating hype for the show. Amahle seems like MaNgwabe, always threatening to leave but never does. Tirelo too."
