Thobile "MaKhumalo" Khumalo recently pulled back the curtain to reveal the truth about why her husband took a fifth wife.
As Uthando Nesthembu heats up, fans are introduced to dramatic revelations about Mzansi's favourite TV family with each episode, and the latest tea from MaKhumalo was no different.
On the latest episode, which aired on Wednesday, 25 February 2026, MaKhumalo had a lengthy heart-to-heart with Mbali MaNgwabe Mseleku about the dynamics of their growing family.
It was during this conversation that MaKhumalo revealed that she once had a discussion with their husband about his tendency to run after young girls, in which she asked him to put an end to it as it "compromises his dignity."

She claims he agreed with her sentiments, saying he wanted to stop his ways but didn't know how to, especially now that there's a baby in the picture, allegedly referring to MaKhwela’s child, Methuli "Met" Mseleku.
"It’s not that he loves the girl; it is simply because she agreed to become number five. She’s not his lifelong partner."
Seemingly confirming Mseleku's earlier claims about the reason he took a fifth wife, MaKhumalo said MaKhwela has "a role to play" in their family.
"He’s not marrying her based on love. She has a role to play in the family."

According to both MaKhumalo and MaNgwabe, their husband did not need to marry a fifth wife; he was merely proving a point to those who threatened to leave if he married another woman.
Meanwhile, with MaKhwela having assured viewers she is not going anywhere and is committed to building a future with her man, it's unclear whether she is truly aware of the strategic nature of her position or if she genuinely believes her marriage is rooted in romance.
As the tension reaches a breaking point, viewers are left to wonder if the Mseleku household can survive more of these explosive claims.
