Izingane Zesthembu fans have been buzzing after the latest episode reignited a conversation about Mpumelelo Mseleku's relationships, specifically the age and physical size differences between the young polygamist and his wives, Tirelo Kale and Amahle Biyela.

ZintleZeeBBMS4 offered some context, noting that Mpumelelo's build plays into the optics"

"Mpumelelo will look like a little boy next to all his women because his type is plus-sized women. To be honest, he will look like a little boy next to everyone, 'cause look how he looks next to Jakalasi and next to his dad."

Michaela4g added to the mix:

"Mind you, Amahle looks like she's the same age as Tirelo."
