๐ฃ Uthando Nesthembu ERUPTS! Musa Mseleku Responds to BACKLASH Over HARSH Comments About Makhumalo ๐ค๐บ
It was supposed to be just another dramatic episode.

But one sentence changed everything.
Musa Mseleku looked Makhumalo in the eye and said, โYou are failing as a wife.โ
Not in anger.
Not in a heated fight.
Just cold.
Calculated.
And devastating.
The moment aired on Uthando Nesthembu Season 8โand within minutes, Twitter turned into a war zone.
Fans couldnโt believe it.
Thousands of viewers rushed online to defend Makhumalo.
Words like โdisrespect,โ โemotional abuse,โ and โhumiliationโ flooded timelines.
#JusticeForMakhumalo began trending by the end of the episode.
People demanded answers.
And now?
Musa has spoken.
In a sit-down interview released on Mamgobhozi TV, Musa Mseleku tried to defend himselfโbut his words may have just made things worse.
He began by saying, โWhat I said came from a place of honesty. A man must speak truth in his household.โ
But that โtruthโ has rattled millions.
Musa claims he was referring to Makhumaloโs inability to give him children, something heโs addressed on the show before.
But this time?

He said it publicly.
Bluntly.
Without empathy.
And the internet will never forget it.
Critics are calling it โpublic shaming.โ
Even longtime fans of the show say Musa crossed the line.
One viewer wrote, โWeโve supported polygamy in the name of culture. But what Musa did is just cruelty, not tradition.โ
Others went further.
They called for Makhumalo to leave.
To reclaim her dignity.
To stop being โemotionally sacrificed for ratings.โ
And while Musa tried to justify his actions as cultural honesty, he never once apologized.
Not to Makhumalo.
Not to the audience.
Just more explanations.
More cold logic.
He said, โIt is my role to correct my wives. If a wife fails in her role, she must be told.โ
But whose definition of failure?
Thatโs what everyoneโs asking.
Because by every other measureโMakhumalo has been the glue of the household.
Sheโs poised.
Loyal.
Supportive.
She has even taken on the role of stepmother, embracing children that arenโt biologically hers.
She shows up.

She holds her head high.
And now?
Sheโs being blamed for something beyond her control.
Insiders say Makhumalo was blindsided by Musaโs comment.
That she didnโt expect him to speak like thatโespecially on camera.
One source close to the production said, โShe was shattered. You could see it in her eyes, even if she didnโt cry.โ
But Makhumalo?
Hasnโt responded publicly.
Not yet.
Sheโs staying silent.
But fans are speaking up for her.
Instagram is flooded with supportive comments.

TikTokers are dissecting the scene frame by frame.
And opinion writers are now entering the chat.
Some say the entire polygamous structure is crumbling under the pressure of modern visibility.
Others say Musa is playing to the cameras.
That he knew the line would go viral.
That it was a performance disguised as patriarchy.
Either way, the damage is done.
And now the spotlight is turning to Makhumalo.
Will she stay?
Will she forgive?
Will she walk away and reclaim her power?
Viewers are already speculating that Season 8 may be her final appearance.
That sheโs preparing an exit.
And if that happens?
The fanbase may never forgive Musa.
One viewer posted, โIf Makhumalo leaves, Iโm done with the show. She is the soul of this family.โ
And itโs not just fans.

Cultural experts have weighed in.
Some defend Musaโs position, citing tradition and expectation.
Others say times have changed.
That no womanโpolygamous or notโdeserves to be shamed in front of millions.
And now the pressure is mounting on Mseleku.
To issue an apology.
To admit he went too far.
Or to face the reality of losing public favor and possibly his wife.
Because when you speak from โhonestyโ without compassion?
The world remembers.
And this moment?
Will define Season 8 forever.
