MaKhumalo BREAKS SILENCE 😢 While Musa Blames His Stroke for the DRAMA – Skhu Steps In With Unexpected Apology 😳🔥
After weeks of mounting criticism directed at Uthando Nesthembu patriarch Musa Mseleku, his third wife, MaKhumalo, has finally addressed the chaos—and she’s done it with a grace and calm that’s only raised more eyebrows.
In a candid on-screen moment during the latest episode of Season 8, MaKhumalo calmly stated: “People can judge, but only those inside know the weight of what we carry.
” Her words were measured, but loaded with unspoken frustration.
She didn’t explicitly defend Musa, but neither did she condemn him.
Instead, she took the diplomatic route, leaving fans divided.
Was she protecting him? Or protecting herself? Whatever the case, her response has only added more fuel to the fire—especially in light of Musa’s shocking justification for his recent behavior.
In what has now become one of the most polarizing moments of the season, Musa blamed much of the backlash on the lingering effects of a past stroke.
In his words: “People don’t understand that my actions come from a place of recovery.
I’m not the same person I was before.
” While it was meant to explain his emotional distance, erratic communication, and explosive arguments with his wives, the internet wasn’t buying it.
Fans flooded social media with reactions like: “Now we’re blaming a stroke for toxic behavior?” and “He had enough energy to chase a fifth wife, but not to fix what he had?” The general sentiment? People want accountability, not excuses.
And just when the controversy couldn’t get any messier, Skhu—Musa’s close relative and occasional spokesperson—jumped into the storm with an unexpected public apology.
In a Facebook Live session, Skhu admitted: “We may have failed to protect the women in this family from unnecessary hurt.
For that, I apologize.
” His tone was humble, but his words left a trail of confusion.
Was he speaking on behalf of Musa? Or was this his own way of distancing himself from the chaos?
Fans were quick to dissect the motives behind the apology.
Some saw it as a genuine act of remorse, especially since Skhu has often played the “middleman” in the Mseleku family drama.
Others viewed it as a calculated move to cool off the heat without Musa himself taking responsibility.
Either way, the apology fell short for many viewers who believe Musa himself needs to publicly acknowledge the damage he’s done, particularly to MaYeni, MaNgwabe, and even MaKhumalo—who’s now caught between loyalty and emotional survival.
Meanwhile, MaKhumalo’s silence before this week had sparked rumors that she might be preparing to walk away like some of the other wives allegedly have.
Her recent comments neither confirm nor deny that theory—but her tone was anything but hopeful.
Viewers noticed that she didn’t speak with the joy or affection we once saw from her in earlier seasons.
Instead, her energy was somber, reflective, and emotionally exhausted.
Some fans have even started calling her “the last woman standing—but for how long?” A popular tweet summed it up: “MaKhumalo is the strongest, but you can see even her strength is cracking.
She deserves peace, not PR damage control.
The bigger question now looming over Uthando Nesthembu is: Can Musa repair the shattered image he now carries? Or has the damage been done permanently? Blaming a stroke—while a real and serious health issue—has been received poorly as an explanation for what many believe are deep-rooted emotional and relational failures.
Viewers want vulnerability, not deflection.
Season 8 has taken fans on a rollercoaster, but this latest chapter could define the legacy of the show—and of Musa Mseleku himself.
With MaKhumalo now speaking out, and Skhu scrambling to apologize on behalf of a family in flames, all eyes are on Musa for a response that doesn’t involve medical justifications or deflection.
The audience wants truth.The wives want healing.And Mzansi wants justice.
