Allegations have long swirled around Musa Mseleku, the patriarch of the famous polygamous family featured on *Uthando Nesthembu*, suggesting he may have engaged in *ugala* — a controversial traditional practice linked to acquiring wealth through spiritual or ritualistic means.

 

 

This practice, often sensationalized in modern media, is associated with money rituals, secret sacrifices, and dealings with ancestral or dark

spiritual forces.

 

Musa’s rapid rise to wealth and his ability to maintain a luxurious lifestyle with four wives living in separate, well-kept homes have fueled

public suspicion.

 

Many observers question the origins of his prosperity, especially given the economic hardships faced by many South Africans.

 

The whispers grew louder when fans noticed signs that Musa’s fortune might be faltering.

 

Family tensions, financial struggles, and health concerns all pointed to the possibility that his supposed spiritual benefactors were no longer

pleased.

 

Musa’s deeply traditional persona, often seen consulting elders and participating in cultural ceremonies, only added fuel to the fire.

 

Despite no concrete proof linking him to *ubala*, the rumors reflect a broader societal skepticism about sudden wealth, especially when it is

shrouded in mysticism and secrecy.

 

 

One of the most glaring red flags has been Musa’s lack of medical aid, despite supporting four wives and over ten children.

 

In a recent episode, one of his wives raised concerns about health care and safety, shocking viewers who expected a man of his status to

prioritize medical coverage.

 

This negligence was seen as irresponsible and hinted at deeper financial cracks behind the scenes.

 

Another major point of concern is the stalled legacy project Musa has promised for years.

 

He has spoken passionately about building a massive communal home where all his wives and children could live together.

 

Yet, despite years of talk, there has been no visible progress — no land clearing, blueprints, or construction updates.

 

Fans speculate whether Musa lacks the funds or underestimated the financial burden.

 

Meanwhile, his wives continue to live separately, some openly doubting the project will ever materialize.

 

Fans have also noticed a decline in the family’s extravagance.

 

Where once Musa and his wives wore fresh, elaborate traditional attire and designer outfits, now they are often seen in repeated or muted

clothing.

 

 

Even Musa himself, once known for luxurious traditional wear, now appears more frequently in simple shirts and polos.

 

This subtle change feeds into suspicions that the family is tightening its belt due to financial strain.

 

Celebrations and ceremonies have also become noticeably scaled down.

 

Birthdays and family rituals that were once grand affairs with tents, catering, and dancers are now low-key and intimate.

 

For example, Makumala’s birthday in season 6 was a quiet home gathering with only close family members.

 

This shift may be due to emotional reasons, but fans can’t ignore the financial implications.

 

Musa often mentions various business ventures — from taxi services to property investments — but rarely shows any evidence of these

enterprises in action.

 

Unlike other reality stars who showcase their businesses, Musa’s ventures remain vague and unsubstantiated.

 

 

There is also a notable absence of brand endorsements or external income streams, raising questions about the true source of his wealth.

 

The dynamic within Musa’s household has grown more strained over time.

 

His wives, especially Mini and Muabi, have become more vocal about his shortcomings as a provider.

 

They openly challenge him on fairness and financial decisions, signaling growing frustration.

 

One wife declared, “I’m not going to accept less just because he wants to act like he’s in control.”

 

This shift in power dynamics may reflect deeper dissatisfaction and broken promises.

Transportation choices also tell a story of decline.

 

Musa, once regularly seen in luxurious SUVs and executive sedans, now drives more practical vehicles like bakies and branded vans.

 

This change contrasts sharply with his earlier flashy lifestyle and suggests a tightening financial situation.

 

The contentious issue of Musa taking a fifth wife has further exposed family tensions.

 

While Musa has been vocal about completing his polygamous vision, his current wives, particularly Mayani and Mangabi, strongly oppose the

idea.

 

On the surface, their resistance appears to be about loyalty and respect.

 

However, many fans believe financial stress is the hidden root cause.

 

 

With resources already stretched thin, adding another wife would mean splitting an already shrinking pie.

 

Beyond finances, the family is grappling with deteriorating relationships.

 

Musa’s son Bumelo has become rebellious and disrespectful, defying his father’s authority and refusing to participate in family business

ventures.

 

This defiance has created significant tension and disappointment within the household.

 

Musa’s daughter Snare is another source of conflict.

 

Her decision to have another child against Musa’s wishes has caused a deep rift, symbolizing defiance and fractured family unity.

 

Musa’s relationship with his sister has also soured, with clashes over family matters and differing views on polygamy.

 

This breakdown in communication has affected the extended family, creating discomfort and uncertainty.

 

Within the household, the wives and children face ongoing struggles.

 

Feelings of neglect and frustration are common, as Musa’s attention is divided among many.

 

 

The first wife, Mgala, has voiced her feelings of being sidelined, while the second wife, Mayani, feels overshadowed by younger wives.

 

The children, too, compete for their father’s attention and resources, adding to the emotional strain.

 

Rumors have circulated that some of Musa’s wives may leave, casting doubt on the sustainability of his polygamous family.

 

Reasons cited include financial strain, emotional disconnect, public scrutiny, and a desire for independence.

 

Lastly, Musa’s health has become a growing concern.

 

Signs of physical decline, fatigue, and stress have surfaced, raising questions about his ability to manage his demanding lifestyle.

 

 

His lack of medical aid and fluctuating energy levels suggest the toll of his complex family and business pressures.

 

In conclusion, the once admired image of Musa Mseleku as a thriving patriarch appears to be unraveling.

 

 

Financial distress, family turmoil, and health issues paint a cautionary tale about the limits of power and the fragility of a family built on

traditional polygamous values.

As the pressures mount, Musa’s carefully curated empire faces an uncertain future, leaving fans wondering what lies ahead for *Uthando

 

Nesthembu* and its famous patriarch.
