Popular polygamist and reality TV star Musa Mseleku has found himself at the centre of online controversy after a post he shared on Instagram.

On Friday, 10 July 2026, the businessman reignited long-standing frustrations from his followers after he once again spoke badly about single mothers.

In the post, Mseleku wrote that women should respect men who marry them when they already have children, arguing that such a man "saw value" in them that others did not. Musa also used the opportunity to address what he described as a double standard, saying men are struggling emotionally but are told to stay silent, and then are mocked when they do open up to women.

@buhle_k said: "Is this the best caption that you could have thought of while carrying your child, Methuli?"

@zanele_mantuli: "Wow, speaking of value! Such a grown man speaking like this? So MaNgwabe had no value before you; now that you are in her life, all of a sudden she has it? Be mindful of others and also learn how to be considerate of other people's feelings."

Top commenter @tsile_t also weighed in directly, writing: "What kind of a man are you, so Flo and Joy had no value?"
