Musa Mseleku has found himself at the center of backlash following a controversial comment he made about his third wife, Thobile “MaKhumalo” Mseleku, on a recent episode of Uthando Nes’thembu.
The polygamist stirred up heated debate online after referring to MaKhumalo as a “failure” during a candid moment on their diary session.
Musa Mseleku called out
The episode, which aired on Thursday, 1 May 2025, triggered emotional responses from viewers, many of whom felt that Mseleku’s words were disrespectful and publicly humiliating.
A clip from the episode was widely circulated by a user on social media, who expressed disappointment in Mseleku’s tone and questioned why such a personal judgment needed to be aired in front of a national audience.
Adding fuel to the reaction, the viewer noted that Mseleku also claimed MaKhumalo was benefiting from public exposure and professional opportunities only because she carries the “Mrs Mseleku” title.
For Musa to say “Makhumalo failed to do what she came there to do” meaning she failed to have a child.😭
Mseleku also said Makhumalo is getting all this exposure and opportunities because she is “Mrs Mseleku” says a lot about this man 🚩

This remark didn’t sit well with many, prompting accusations of emotional undermining and egotism.
“He said MaKhumalo is only getting all this exposure because she’s ‘Mrs Mseleku’. It says a lot about this man,” one online user wrote, pointing to what they viewed as a red flag in his treatment of his wife.
Interestingly, the controversy comes shortly after fans noticed that Thobile had seemingly removed the Mseleku surname from her Instagram profile, sparking speculation about possible strain in the marriage.
More comments from viewers are:
“I normally refrain from commenting on people’s post but I feel that you betrayed MaK this season and expected her not to retaliate!!! You go to her neighborhood and choose your next wife??? That was a low blow, considering that you had promised her that you wouldn’t. This is just based off what we saw, I can only imagine what happens when the cameras switch off. Your diary moments!!! Seriously!!! It was out of respect for her that I chose not to comment on your post kodwa cha!!! Ngiyala, you were cruel to one of the most beautiful souls out. I know she’s not perfect but she’s a great woman. And you are fumbling her!!!”
“MaK deserves More, she deserves someone who’ll appreciate and give her the Cron she deserves. It’s a pity that LoBaba makes her to believe that, she can’t be anything without him. Ngoba nakhu wamthathela ubuNtombi bakhe”
