Baby on board! Businessman and polygamist Musa Mseleku, who has five wives and ten children, is expecting a baby with his fifth wife, Samke Khwela.
On Wednesday night’s episode of the fan-favourite reality show “Uthando Nes’thembu”, Mseleku, the lovable but often controversial patriarch from the reality TV show, took his fifth wife on a romantic picnic.
Upon arrival, the couple enjoyed a scenic game drive, and shortly after, they sat down for a picnic. 25-year-old Khwela presented him with a small paper bag containing a positive pregnancy test.
Mseleku was over the moon, and his excitement was palpable. The news came as a joyous surprise to him and he was proud that the pregnancy news is proof that he is still capable of having children, which his other wives had doubted due to his age.
Previously, the 50-year-old polygamist had expressed his desire to have more children in addition to the ten that he already has, and Khwela is making his dream a reality with baby number eleven.
Interestingly, the news of Musa's fifth wife's pregnancy did not shock many as a significant number of viewers claimed they were not surprised by the announcement.
They suggested Mseleku’s hasty decision to marry his fifth wife as a clear indication that she was already pregnant.
The viewers took to X to share their thoughts on the matter.
X user @_uNonnie commented: Musa and MaKhwela want us to believe that she got pregnant after elotsholiwe? 🤣 They intentionally revealed the pregnancy now so that it seems that way, but siyalazi iqiniso (we know the truth).”

While some have congratulated the happy couple, others have expressed criticism.
The pregnancy announcement has sparked a lively debate, with many questioning why Khwela would marry a man who is twice her age and even go as far as having a baby with him.
This season of “Utando Nes’thembu” has been nothing short of explosive, with drama unfolding at every turn. Since the season's premiere, viewers have been glued to their screens, eager to see what would happen next.
From the introduction of wife number five, the wives not seeing eye-to-eye and Mseleku’s health scare, the show has become a hot topic of discussion, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the latest developments, making the #Uthandonesthembu trend every Wednesday and Thursday night.
