Musa Mseleku’s fifth wife, Samke "MaKhwela," has found herself at the centre of a raging social media storm after sharing a seemingly innocent video with her baby girl, Methuli, known to Uthando Nesthembu fans as Met.

On 24 May 2026, a video of the reality TV personality surfaced online, showing her sitting pretty in the passenger seat while her daughter sat in the backseat.

What drew sharp criticism for the child's safety was her being strapped to the car's seat belt, which did very little to protect her. Netizens pointed out that a standard adult seat belt is completely inadequate for a toddler, as it can cause severe injuries or fail to restrain a child properly in the event of a sudden stop or crash.

The video showed the TV star's outing, featuring a stop for food and baby Met being captured enjoying a lollipop in the backseat, instantly raising the alarm for a possible choking hazard.

Others noted that since she did not have a car seat, her mother should have sat with her in the back to supervise baby Met instead of filming content. With her husband allegedly behind the wheel, many questioned why no car seat was ready despite his resources.

Commenters flooded the post to lecture the reality TV star on road safety regulations, emphasising that little Methuli should have been securely in an age-appropriate car seat instead. The video has sparked a wider conversation online about the importance of car seat safety, with many accusing MaKhwela of prioritising a cute social media video over her daughter's well-being.
