🚨 Mseleku SHADES Mpilo’s Biological Mother Online – “Where’s the Credit?” Outrage Erupts in Season 8! 💥📱
It started with a single Instagram post.

Musa Mseleku, head of the famously complex Uthando Nes’thembu family, shared a heartfelt message congratulating his daughter Mpilo on her graduation.
But what should’ve been a proud father moment quickly turned into a PR nightmare.
In his caption, Mseleku credited all of Mpilo’s upbringing and success to Makhumalo, his third wife.
The caption read, in part:
“She is the product of love, discipline, and guidance from MaKhumalo, who raised her as her own.
I thank you, Makhumalo, for making Mpilo the woman she is today.
That was all it took for Mzansi’s social media to explode.

Within minutes, fans began flooding the comments, quote-tweeting the post, and reposting screenshots with captions like:
👉 “So where is Mpilo’s actual mother in all this?”
👉 “This is pure disrespect.
The woman who gave birth to her doesn’t even get a mention?”
👉 “Musa always favors the wives he can control.
The backlash wasn’t just from fans.
Influencers, gossip bloggers, and even some parenting advocates weighed in, accusing Mseleku of deliberately erasing Mpilo’s biological mother from the narrative.
While it’s long been known that Mpilo is not Makhumalo’s biological child, many viewers were shocked by the public dismissal of her real mother’s role in raising her.
Some fans even went as far as calling the post emotional sabotage, suggesting that it reflected a deeper pattern of power play and favoritism among Musa’s wives.
“Makhumalo is the wife with the least biological children, and he’s always trying to boost her status through others,” one fan commented.
“But at what cost?”

The post, now filled with hundreds of divided comments, has turned Musa’s timeline into a digital battlefield.
And what’s making the situation even messier? The silence.
Mpilo’s biological mother, who has always chosen to stay out of the public eye, has not commented, but fans are reading into every detail.
The absence of her presence at graduation.
The lack of any public post or tribute from Musa.
The fact that Uthando Nes’thembu Season 8 has barely touched on her role—if at all.
Many are now asking: Is this intentional erasure? Or just the reality of a polygamous family where some voices get louder airtime than others?
Makhumalo, for her part, has also remained silent—but fans are now dragging her name into the chaos, with some unfairly accusing her of “stealing shine” or “playing the long game” by raising Mpilo under the radar and reaping the public praise now.
Still, others are defending both Makhumalo and Mseleku, pointing out that being present every day matters.
“We don’t know the full story,” one user tweeted.
“If Mpilo’s biological mom wasn’t there, and Makhumalo raised her, then give her her flowers.
Parenting is action, not biology.
But for many viewers, it’s not about who raised her—it’s about recognizing everyone involved, especially on a public platform with millions of followers.
“He could’ve thanked Makhumalo without erasing the woman who gave birth to Mpilo,” one fan argued.
“This wasn’t love.
This was a calculated move.
As Uthando Nes’thembu Season 8 continues airing, tensions are already high in the family.
Recent episodes have shown deep cracks between the wives, subtle power struggles, and emotional distance between the siblings.

This latest online controversy only adds fuel to the fire, leaving fans wondering what more the cameras haven’t shown.
Could this be addressed on the show? Viewers are hoping so.
The drama is simply too loud to ignore.
One insider close to the production hinted that Musa’s social media behavior has become a “talking point” in upcoming scenes and that viewers can expect a confrontation involving family boundaries, parenting roles, and public image.
Meanwhile, Mpilo has handled the moment with elegance and grace, continuing to post her graduation highlights without acknowledging the storm surrounding her.
Many fans have applauded her for staying focused, even as the adults around her spiral into drama.
Still, the damage may be done.
Whether Musa intended it or not, the internet is not letting this go quietly.
The comment section is still active.
The screenshots are still circulating.
And Uthando Nes’thembu fans are still asking:
Where is Mpilo’s mom in all this? And why did Mseleku act like she doesn’t exist?
