‘We are living a normal life, please’ — MaKhumalo denies marrying for money

Reality TV star Thobile MaKhumalo Mseleku had some things to get off her chest, one of them being a rumour that she married her husband Musa Mseleku for money. 

The media personality went live on Facebook, which has since been shared on YouTube, where she addressed comments about her personality, marriage and finances in their polygamous marriage.  

She explained the dynamics of their marriage and rubbished claims that she married and remained in the union for money. 

“Where is the money? We are living a normal life, please. I dated Mseleku, and he did not give me money. I did not just meet him; I knew him before we even dated. He was a great man, but I did not say here is Mseleku courting me and this means money is coming now. He started pursuing me when I was still very young, and it took me years to accept him, so I was not attracted to him for his money,” she said.

The media personality said they all worked for their money and she had never asked for money from Musa.  

“We all work hard for money. I do not even know how to ask for money from him, maybe you should teach me,” she charged.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE at the height of The Real Housewives of Durban, she said reading people's opinions about herself and her family online didn't faze her. 

“I am one person who likes criticism. I do not like to deal with people who love me because when people love you, they will sometimes not tell you when you are wrong because they will forever be scared you might get hurt by what they are going to say to you 

“I love to go on social media because I know people can be very cruel. People are telling it like it is and I respect their views. It's not everything that they’ll say that will be true. If it’s something I cannot change, obviously I won't change it and it won't affect me, but if it’s something I can work on to become better, I’ll do that. They will love you today, they hate you tomorrow and you don’t have to take it to heart.”
