“Is Mseleku Paying the Price for a Secret Spiritual Pact? The Dark Side of Tradition Comes Back to Haunt His Family”
Musa Mseleku, the well-known polygamist and reality TV star from Uthando Nes’thembu, is once again under intense public scrutiny, but this time the concerns go far beyond family drama or television storylines.

Rumors have been circulating that ukuthwala — a controversial traditional practice often associated with spiritual wealth rituals and arranged marriages — may have played a role in Mseleku’s complex personal journey, and that things have now taken a dark and unexpected turn.
Ukuthwala, in its original and sacred form, was a customary practice used to arrange marriages — usually with ancestral consent and spiritual processes meant to bind two people together with the blessings of the ancestors.
However, over time, the practice has been increasingly linked with occultism, rushed spiritual pacts, and even wealth-seeking rituals that come with devastating consequences when not performed correctly or ethically.
In recent weeks, whispers have grown louder that Musa Mseleku may have been involved in a form of ukuthwala that has “gone wrong,” according to some spiritual commentators and traditional healers.
While these are largely unconfirmed and speculative reports, they have gained traction, especially after viewers noticed growing emotional distance, recurring misfortunes, and spiritual tension within the Mseleku household as seen on Uthando Nes’thembu.

Many are beginning to ask questions: could Mseleku’s polygamous success and material wealth have come at a spiritual cost? Was there a binding spiritual transaction that is now unraveling?
Those familiar with traditional beliefs explain that when ukuthwala is not done with full ancestral alignment or is manipulated for personal gain, the spiritual world may respond with resistance.
This can manifest in family breakdowns, emotional instability, illness, and even public humiliation.
Some traditional healers claim that if spirits involved in ukuthwala are not honored or released properly, they may turn against the individual who invoked them, seeking balance through chaos.
For Mseleku, who has always publicly portrayed himself as a man rooted in tradition and ancestral respect, this narrative is especially disturbing.
He has spoken frequently about the need for men to handle polygamy with dignity and spiritual consciousness, often placing himself as a cultural figure who balances tradition with modern living.
But now, some are saying that what he has presented may be at odds with what’s been happening behind the scenes.
A few online users have pointed to strange patterns within his household that they believe signal spiritual unrest.

Wives speaking cryptically about unhappiness, emotional disconnects between spouses, and recurring family misfortunes have all been listed as “evidence” that something deeper — something spiritual — is amiss.
One traditional expert, speaking anonymously to a local newspaper, said, “When you see repeated suffering in a home where everything else looks perfect — wealth, fame, public praise — but the people inside that home are not at peace, it is often a sign that ancestral or spiritual obligations are not being fulfilled.
This isn’t the first time Mseleku has been linked with spiritual controversy.
In previous seasons of Uthando Nes’thembu, discussions around ancestral callings, spiritual conflict between wives, and issues with childbearing have emerged.
While these were always framed within the family’s personal journey, the broader cultural implications were not lost on viewers.
What has made the recent speculation more intense is the idea that if ukuthwala was used — or even misused — as a spiritual shortcut to wealth or power, the consequences would not only affect Mseleku himself, but could also spill over to his wives and children.
In African spirituality, especially within Nguni traditions, spiritual contracts made by one individual can influence the destiny of an entire lineage, particularly when they involve ancestral forces or spiritual pacts.

To date, Mseleku has not directly addressed any allegations or concerns around ukuthwala.
His silence on the matter has divided public opinion — some argue that he has no obligation to discuss private spiritual matters, while others believe that as a public cultural figure, he owes the community clarity, especially if harmful traditional practices are involved.
The situation also raises important questions about the commercialization of culture and tradition.
Mseleku has become a public symbol of modern-day polygamy — a man who made his cultural lifestyle palatable for TV audiences and national conversation.
But critics argue that by placing sacred family structures in the spotlight, there is a danger of reducing complex traditions to entertainment, leaving little room for true spiritual accountability.
Spiritual integrity, many believe, cannot be faked or monetized — and when ancestral laws are broken, they will find a way to correct themselves, often publicly.
As speculation grows, so does concern for the well-being of the Mseleku household.
Fans who once celebrated the family’s unity and growth now watch with curiosity and caution, wondering what deeper truths lie beneath the show’s carefully curated surface.
At the heart of the matter is a man who claimed to be walking the path of tradition, culture, and ancestral alignment.
Whether or not Musa Mseleku has truly fallen victim to a spiritually compromised version of ukuthwala remains to be seen.
But what is clear is that when tradition is invoked for personal benefit without full understanding and respect for the spiritual laws that govern it, the outcome can be devastating.
Only time will tell if Mseleku can restore balance within his home and within his spirit — or if he will continue to be haunted by spiritual decisions made long ago.
