Polygamist Musa Mseleku and his four wives want to change people's perception of polygamous marriages through their reality show Uthando Ne Sthembu.
The wealthy businessman and his family were introduced to Mzansi on Thursday night when the reality show made its debut.
Speaking to Drum magazine Musa said they agreed to do the reality show to debunk misconceptions about polygamy.
"For my family and I it was about making a meaningful contribution to the lives of people who would like to follow the life we live. It was also to prevent the abuse that we have witnessed of the polygamous relationship unit. And also to discard any misconceptions that are out there," he said.
