Gatvol: Mseleku’s Brother Exposes Him for Ukuthwala and Keeping a Snake at Mzumbe

A shocking and emotional family scandal has rocked Mzansi as Musa Mseleku’s own brother has come forward with disturbing allegations, accusing the popular polygamist and reality TV star of engaging in ukuthwala and keeping a snake in his Mzumbe homestead.

The revelation has left fans reeling, with many expressing disbelief, heartbreak, and concern over what may be happening behind the scenes of one of South Africa’s most talked-about families.

The brother, whose identity has not yet been fully confirmed by media sources, appeared in a tearful video that quickly went viral, claiming that Mseleku’s wealth and success have not been built by hard work alone, but through spiritual manipulation and dark rituals associated with ukuthwala—a controversial and often taboo practice believed to involve making a pact with ancestral or supernatural forces in exchange for material gain.

His most jaw-dropping accusation, however, was that Mseleku allegedly keeps a live snake at his Mzumbe residence, something that he claims is directly connected to the spiritual rituals and power behind Mseleku’s prosperity and fame.

Ukuthwala, often whispered about in hushed tones across rural and urban South Africa, has long been linked to superstition and secret dealings with spiritual entities.

Although some view it as a legitimate form of traditional practice, others see it as a dangerous shortcut that comes with heavy spiritual consequences—not just for the one involved, but also for their family and descendants.

Hearing this word associated with Mseleku has left many of his supporters shaken, especially given his public image as a proud Zulu traditionalist, a family man, and a spiritual leader who regularly speaks on the importance of culture and legacy.

In the video, the brother can be seen crying and expressing regret over having stayed silent for so long.

He claims that the guilt of knowing what allegedly goes on in Mseleku’s private life has become too heavy to carry.

He insists that everything he is revealing is not out of jealousy or spite, but out of a desire to warn others about the price of chasing fame and wealth the wrong way.

According to him, the snake is not just symbolic, but a physical presence in the homestead, one that is linked to rituals carried out in secret and unseen by the public eye.

Reactions online have been intense.

Some users believe the brother is telling the truth, pointing to the sudden rise of Mseleku’s media empire, his spiritual authority, and his multiple successful marriages as signs of supernatural involvement.

Others, however, have accused the brother of jealousy and character assassination, especially given the timing of the allegations.

Fans have noted that this public fallout between siblings could destroy not only a personal relationship but also the reputation of a man who has built an entire brand around transparency, cultural leadership, and family values.

As the story continues to unfold, questions now arise about what the truth really is—and whether Mseleku will respond directly to the claims.

So far, he has remained silent, with no public statement addressing the shocking video or the brother’s emotional confessions.

Sources close to the family say the allegations have sent shockwaves through their inner circle, with some relatives reportedly distancing themselves from the feud while others prepare for a possible public response.

Whether the accusations are rooted in truth, resentment, or a deeper spiritual conflict within the family, one thing is clear: this is no ordinary family drama.

It touches on belief systems, wealth, tradition, and the thin line between success and sacrifice in modern South Africa.

And as the country watches closely, it is clear that the Mseleku legacy—once admired and emulated—now faces one of its most difficult and public tests.
