In a snippet shared on X (Twitter) by controversial celebrity gossip monger Musa Khawula on Thursday, 16 April 2026, MaCele confronted Musa Mseleku about MaKhumalo’s child before she became his wife.

When the polygamous businessman appeared to have forgotten, MaCele reprimanded him.

“Don’t you know that she had a child before she joined the Mseleku family? Don’t you know that anymore?” MaCele asked.

Musa Mseleku then agrees that MaKhumalo had a child from a previous relationship before he married her.

“I’m not denying that she had a child. I’m not denying that, you, see?” Musa Mseleku said.

Watch the video below:

Briefly News previously gained insights about how MaKhumalo navigates parenting, admitting that she is a parent. However, she considers Mpilo Mseleku as her child.

"Children are different from us, and in many ways, they are more advanced. My parenting style is not that unique," she said, adding that she lets her child become the author of their own story.

Here are some of the comments:

@LihleonX claimed:

“Lies lies, lies 😂😂😂😂 this one just wants to discredit Thobile.”

@ngwanamahlaba said:

“People on this App were trolling this poor woman for no reason😂😂Am so happy when she’s firing back to their faves.”

@GeeBeeVon theorised:

“I suspect Musa used to chow MaK when she was younger and a worker at Musa's company, like a boss chowing the secretary, then she got pregnant, then Musa rushed to marry her. But what happened to that child?”

@LungstarSibiya said:

“This woman will never admit that she married a serial liar. Musa keeps playing her on many occasions, and she doesn’t learn. He was probably the baby daddy in secret - I don’t trust him.”

@Lethabo_____ alleged:

“It's not shocking. Even MaSaule had a child before marrying Earthly King. MaCele is just bitter.”

@teeBhelekazi asked:

“Mseleku is still failing to call uMacele into order🚮🚮Why didn’t she ask Thobile at the retreat?”
