uThando Nes’thembu S1-6
There’s drama aplenty for man-of-many-wives Musa Mseleku in his family reality show Uthando Nes’Thembu, now available to stream on Showmax, along with Seasons 1 to 5 if you missed them.
Keeping everyone happy has never been a problem for the polygamous businessman, but Musa has his hands full because his four wives – MaCele, MaKhumalo, MaNgwabe and MaYeni – aren’t always on the best of terms.
“I often play mediator and it can be a bit heated,” says the man literally in the middle. “But in the end, we are always able to come to a peaceful compromise that works for everyone.” Keep an eye on MaKhumalo especially when she drops shade on MaYeni’s wedding with a couple of colourful comments about the ceremony and following tradition.
The cameras catch the good, the bad and the ugly. “You need to value your marriage, especially when you are opening yourself to reality TV. We are. I love my wives and nothing will change that,” adds Musa before going back to a big family dinner.
