Tensions have reached a fever pitch in the Mseleku household, with polygamist Musa Mseleku and his estranged wife Thobile "MaKhumalo" Khumalo's marriage seemingly hanging in the balance.

Months after hurling insults at his wife during an episode of their show, Uthando Nesthembu, in which Mseleku labelled MaKhumalo a "failure," the pair finally met in person to address the hurtful remarks and troubled marriage.

In the show's latest episode, which aired on 5 March 2026, the couple discussed their issues over dinner, where they touched on the controversial DNA scandal involving Mseleku's child with Samke "MaKhwela" Khwela, as well as his remarks about MaKhumalo's "failure" to bear his kids.

The polygamist made another attempt to defend himself by claiming that his words during his diary session were taken out of context. MaKhumalo said her husband's remarks were not new, as he had said the same thing to her once before in private.

"We spoke about it, and you told me that whatever I think my contribution is, counts for nothing compared to what you want, which you haven't gotten from me, you are tired of waiting."

During her diary session, the businesswoman revisited her husband's remarks, which ultimately led to their separation.

"He said it to my face. He said he is tired of waiting, 'Why am I not conceiving naturally?' This is something he said recently, the last time I spoke to him and told him he can't sleep at my house, those are the words he uttered."

According to MaKhumalo, Mseleku expressed his frustration over the situation, noting that he had been waiting for more than five years, and later moved on to find someone else to bear his kids. This, despite knowing that MaKhumalo had her tubes cut off after enduring the trauma of several ectopic pregnancies.

Meanwhile, the polygamist relentlessly attempted to defend himself, even asking MaKhumalo if she thought of herself as a failure.
