"#UthandoNesthembu This woman is not pretending this season."

Some fans hailed MaYeni for giving Mseleku a taste of his own bitter medicine. Others said she should just divorce Mseleku if she does not love him anymore.

"Jokes aside, I actually don’t judge MaYeni for not jumping to Musa’s rescue immediately. it seems as if he wasn’t really there for her when she got her operation done ( he was busy marrying No.5 ) and he also encourages Mpumelelo’s behaviour towards her. #UthandoNesthembu."
