Musa Mseleku prepares fifth wife for drama!

WELL-KNOWN polygamist Musa Mseleku has finally introduced his fifth wife, Samukelisiwe Khwela.

In the first episode of the much-anticipated Uthando Nes’thembu season 8, which aired on Mzansi Magic on Wednesday, 22 January, Mseleku sat down with his fifth wife to discuss the rules and prepare her for her new polygamous journey.

Mseleku prepared his fifth wife in advance, explaining that there would be times when she would greet some of his four other wives, and some of them might not greet her back.

He advised her not to worry about them, as she wasn’t there for them but for him.

“And I’m not there to fight your battles. You’re a grown woman. I will not even comfort you. I will just say, why are you crying? Dry your tears and move on.

“My wives will watch how I treat her. Number two, they’ll want to see if I coddle her. And If I did, that would make it seem like she’s better than them. So, I can’t do that. One of them might ill-treat you but don’t expect me to intervene. If I intervene, it’ll make you seem more special than her,” he said.

Mseleku said it’s important that his fifth doesn’t go there with the mindset that she’s special.

“I chose her to be part of this family. She’s not better than others. I can see that she’s brave, and she’ll be able to stand for this because there are some women I’ve dated before her, but as soon as they saw the Mseleku family talking about their matter, they ran for the hills and never looked back.

“She’s brave, but the other thing I love about her is that she’s very intelligent. I think she’s the kind of person we need at home. Someone who will come in, tell her story and stand for what she wants,” he said.

Samukelisiwe said she doesn’t think that it’ll be that much of a challenge.

“I’m pretty sure that if there’s a challenge, I’m sure that I’ll be able to overcome it, and I’ll be able to solve them,” she said.

Mzansi Magic said Samukelisiwe is not doing interviews yet.
