Uthando Nesthembu is topping trends after a clip from the famous Mercedes-Benz episode made the rounds online.

Musa Mseleku gifts wives new cars

Nearly a month since Musa Mseleku confirmed the season finale of his popular reality show, Uthando Nesthembu, fans reflected on the show's highs and lows.

Eight seasons in, fans have seen the Mseleku clan grow in front of their eyes, from welcoming grandkids to the famous polygamist finding wife number five.

Now, as the season wraps up, peeps looked back at the episode that helped make polygamy famous.

sa_daily23 shared a clip from earlier in the show when Mseleku gifted his three wives, MaNgwabe, MaYeni, and MaCele, brand new Mercedes-Benzes.

In the episode, Mseleku blindfolded his wives and took them for a ride without revealing the destination. He spoke about how frustrated they were:

"I'm driving with them, and no one is happy. They're complaining about the blindfolds, that they're too tight and their eyes are sore."

Screams and cheers erupted in the dealership as the teary Mseleku wives were met with their new rides, saying they never saw it coming:

Here's what Mzansi said about the video

The ladies argued that the episode never made them desire polygamy, contrary to what the caption suggests:

"I hate Isithembu with my whole being. I would rather be a workaholic to provide for myself."

Meanwhile, other social media users discussed how things changed so rapidly within the Mseleku clan:

Musa Mseleku bonds with his newborn

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared online reactions to a picture of Musa Mseleku bonding with his newborn from his fifth wife.

Mzansi criticised the reality TV star for only spending time with his baby in his car or at his first wife's house. Peeps speculated that Mseleku was avoiding going to his new wife's house as he may not have paid lobola for her yet.
