The 50-year-old from Umzumbe on the KZN south coast believes the recognition for Uthando Nes’thembu Season 8 is well-deserved and long overdue.

Season 8 Competes with Top Shows
The latest season of Uthando Nes’thembu is competing against Real Housewives of Durban Season 4 and Icala Season 2. Mseleku expressed pride in their work and credited Thanx Ma Production for submitting the necessary materials for the nomination.
Drama, Growth and Controversy
Premiering in 2017, Uthando Nes’thembu offers a look into Mseleku’s complex polygamous life. Season 8 was filled with major developments, including Mseleku’s recovery from a stroke, the introduction of his fifth wife, Samke Khwela, and tension with existing wives MaYeni and MaNgwabe, who threatened to leave.
The emotional moments, including a heated argument between the wives that brought Mseleku to tears, sparked nationwide debate. Viewers were divided, with some criticising the show for misrepresenting Zulu cultural norms, while others praised it for educating the public on polygamy.
Future of the Show Uncertain
As for whether Season 9 is coming, Mseleku said that decision lies with Mzansi Magic. “They hold the rights. I don’t make that call,” he explained.
Despite the challenges, Mseleku is hopeful and appreciative. “This nomination is a reflection of the journey we’ve been through,” he said.
Whether the show continues or not, Uthando Nes’thembu has certainly left a mark on South African television.
