Fans of the hit reality show were left stunned when Thobile “Mangwabe” Mseleku revealed her decision to separate from husband Musa Mseleku. Known for her calm yet strong-willed personality, Mangwabe explained that the move was not impulsive but the result of long-standing struggles in the marriage, including feelings of emotional neglect and a lack of appreciation. Her revelation immediately set off discussions across Mzansi about the challenges of polygamous unions and the sacrifices often made by co-wives.

Musa Mseleku, a vocal supporter of polygamy, has consistently sought to maintain harmony within his household, but rising tension between him and Mangwabe made cracks in the relationship undeniable.
