Who is Musa Mseleku's first wife?
Musa's first wife is Busisiwe "MaCele" Mseleku. In January 2024, the reality television star celebrated his anniversary with MaCele, saying:
Twenty-two years of Grace kubalulekile uma uzoganwa isithembu uganwe kahle from the onset. My ancestors were full-time at work when we met as I chose INdlovukazi u MaCele. I will be forever grateful for the contribution you have made in building this legacy.
In another post, Musa Mseleku said:
I will forever be indebted to iNdlovukazi Mamkhulu MaCele Mseleku. She has embraced my vision of being a polygamist. The pillar of strength and the foundation of my family. She is unshaken. When she married me she was only 22 years [old] and I am grateful and believe in your unwavering support. You are tried and tested by all situations, but you still choose us.
It can be deduced that MaCele Mseleku's age is 45 or 46 years as of 2025. MaCele Mseleku is a silent lady and is described by her husband as a woman of few words.

Who is Musa Mseleku's 5th wife?
Samke Khwela is Musa Mseleku's 5th wife. Not long ago, Msleku introduced his fifth wife, Samke Khwela, on his reality television show. Before this, he had asked his four wives for permission to add another wife.
I’m asking my wives to allow me to take a fifth wife. It’s no longer a question for me. I’m waiting for them to say yes or no. I’m doing it the modern way. If it was before, I’d be telling them that I’m taking.
He went ahead:
The way it’s supposed to be done is for me to engage with the first wife and tell her I intend to take a fifth wife, and she would communicate with the other wives. But in modern times, it does not work that way because all the wives have to be treated equally.

I know I play a big part in maintaining the harmony between my wives, but with that being said‚ I believe the role of the first wife, MaCele, has to always be respected. Many may say she is my favourite, and I have no problem with that because if it wasn’t for her‚ none of this would have happened.
