Polygamist and reality TV star Musa Mseleku is keeping his wives in the spotlight, but not everyone is buying the gesture. On 17 July 2026, he posted a photo of Thobile "MaKhumalo" and Mbali "MaNgwabe" standing alongside KZN MEC of Social Development, Ms Mbali Cynthia Shinga, writing: "My two beautiful wives with the MEC of Social Development in KZN."

The snap caught attention not just for the meeting itself, but for what it represents, given the well-documented turbulence inside the Mseleku household.

Viewers of Uthando Nesthembu will know that things between Musa and his wives, particularly MaKhumalo, have been strained for some time. The cracks deepened after Musa made remarks about his wife's fertility, a wound that has not fully healed since the show concluded.

The strain reached a very public low point when his wives and most of his children gave his birthday a miss, leaving him to celebrate the occasion on his own.

Despite the cold shoulder, Musa has continued posting his wives on Instagram, showering them with warm words even when the affection does not appear to be returned.

The controversial polygamist recently sparked massive outrage after claiming single mothers should be grateful to any man who chooses to marry them and accept their children. Social media pointed out that his remarks were insensitive to MaNgwabe, who already had a son before their marriage.
