In the latest explosive episode of Uthando Nesthembu, Musa Mseleku, the famed South African polygamist, called his wife Mangwabe “selfish.”

 

 

The fallout from this accusation has left fans in absolute shock.

 

The tension escalated when Musa accused Mangwabe of prioritizing herself over the needs of the family.

 

This was in response to a past incident where Mangwabe refused to switch days with another wife whose birthday clashed with Musa’s

scheduled visit.

 

According to Musa, polygamy demands compromise.

 

When you enter into isithembu, you must accept that special days—like birthdays or emergencies—might require flexibility.

 

But Mangwabe reportedly insisted on seeing her husband only on her designated days.

 

She was firm: “When I see my man, I see my man.”

 

Fans quickly picked sides, with some agreeing that Mangwabe seems to forget the reality of being in a polygamous marriage.

 

 

Others, however, praised her for setting boundaries and standing her ground.

 

It’s evident that Musa expected more understanding from Mangwabe.

 

He emphasized that love in isithembu isn’t just about feelings—it’s about duty, sacrifice, and family unity.

 

Despite the chaos, many agree that Musa is a romantic at heart.

 

Throughout the seasons, he’s consistently gone above and beyond to show love and affection to all his wives.

 

From luxurious gifts to heartfelt moments, Musa makes sure his partners feel loved and appreciated.

 

Still, love alone isn’t enough to hold this complicated arrangement together.

 

 

Mangwabe’s apparent refusal to allow Musa to take another wife has raised eyebrows.

 

Viewers speculate that she entered the relationship expecting to be the final addition to his growing family.

 

And perhaps that’s where it all went wrong.

 

Some believe she romanticized the idea of marrying Musa without fully accepting the realities of polygamy.

 

When she joined the family, Musa already had multiple wives—and big plans for more.

 

His vision? A legacy of 20 children.

 

Currently, Musa has 11 kids—10 biological and one through a co-parenting arrangement with a woman outside the marriage.

 

Yet only eight of these children come from his current wives.

 

One of the wives doesn’t have children at all.

 

Mangwabe’s resistance to adding another wife appears deeply rooted in jealousy.

 

She seems hurt by the idea of sharing her husband, especially when emotions and intimacy are involved.

 

 

Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable knowing your husband is sleeping with another wife tonight, and with you the next?

 

Mangwabe’s emotions are valid.

 

She fell in love, made promises with Musa, and believed she’d be the last wife.

 

But Musa’s commitment to polygamy has not wavered.

 

The arrival of a potential new wife has shaken Mangwabe to her core.

 

Even fans admit they’d struggle in her shoes.

 

Witnessing your partner kissing another woman, loving another woman, and being intimate with someone else—all while calling you “wife”—

can be heartbreaking.

 

Yet, critics argue: if you join a polygamous marriage, you accept the full package.

 

You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

 

 

Some fans have pointed out that Mangwabe may be holding onto an ideal that doesn’t exist within isithembu.

 

One commenter noted how new wives often experience the “honeymoon phase,” only to later realize the harsh truth.

 

Musa, for his part, defends himself by blaming Mangwabe’s jealousy for his emotional distance.

 

He even hinted that jealousy from wives is the reason men cheat.

 

This controversial claim caused an uproar online.

 

Many were quick to slam Musa’s justification, arguing that cheating is a choice—not a reaction to someone else’s feelings.

 

In the end, Mangwabe’s frustrations have led her to threaten leaving the marriage altogether.

 

This bombshell has fans divided.

 

Is she being fair to the other wives who came before her?

 

 

 

Or is she simply drawing healthy boundaries for her own emotional well-being?

 

Can a wife, even the last to join, put her foot down in a polygamous marriage?

 

Should Musa honor the promise he made to her?

 

 

Or should she accept that promises in isithembu aren’t always permanent?

 

The debate rages on.

 

And as this real-life drama unfolds on screens, one thing is certain: Uthando Nesthembu continues to capture hearts, spark conversations,

and challenge cultural norms in South Africa and beyond.
