Fortunately, reports indicate that he is on the mend and making a strong recovery.

The outpouring of affection from his supporters reflects the deep connection he has built with the public over the years. As Musa continues to show resilience in the face of adversity, fans are rallying behind him, wishing him a speedy and complete recovery. One fan expressed heartfelt appreciation, highlighting the importance of Musa’s family in their lives, stating, “Your family has been taking care of me for the past two years without you guys even being aware. I love and appreciate the brains behind *Uthando Nes’thembu*, and I know you are a fighter who has come out victorious even in this battle.”

### The Mseleku Family: A Unique Dynamic

Musa Mseleku and his family first graced South African screens in 2017 on the Mzansi Magic reality show *Uthando Nes’thembu*, which translates to “Love Amongst Many.” The show provides a glimpse into the life of Musa, a polygamist businessman, and his four wives: MaCele, MaYeni, MaKhumalo, and MaNgwabe. The series has captivated audiences with its authentic portrayal of a modern polygamous family, highlighting the challenges and joys they face. Over six successful seasons, viewers have become invested in the Mseleku family’s dynamics, with many viewers having their favorite wives.

Together, Musa and his wives have ten children, a number he wishes could be increased. However, in a previous season, MaCele, MaYeni, and MaNgwabe expressed their hesitance to expand their families, prompting Musa to voice his desire for a fifth wife. This desire illustrates the complexities of their relationships and the differing perspectives within the family regarding family planning.

#### MaCele: The First Wife

MaCele, the first wife, has played a significant role in the family’s businesses. While it’s uncertain if she is still actively involved, she has ventured into the realm of entertainment by hosting a talk show called *Igumbi Lamakhosikazi* alongside her co-wives. In addition to her business ventures, MaCele is a motivational speaker and a dedicated mother to three children: Lwandle, Abongwe, and Owami. She also embraced her role as a mother figure to Musa’s first child, Snenhlanhla, showcasing her commitment to family.

#### MaYeni: The Second Wife

MaYeni, Musa’s second wife, has a unique story. Initially, her family opposed her marrying Musa due to the polygamous nature of his lifestyle. Eventually, they agreed to the union after Musa married MaCele first. MaYeni was the first to have a child with Musa, but culturally, she cannot claim the title of the firstborn due to the timing of their marriage.
