Musa Mseleku thanks viewers for watching his reality shows: 'We are humbled'

Musa Mseleku is beaming with pride after learning his reality shows have topped viewership charts.

Reacting to some viral, unverified posts that he is the highest rated male personality on DStv for his reality shows Uthando Nesthembu and Mnakwethu, Mseleku said he was humbled by the support he's been shown.

“We are humbled by your support. When we started we didn’t know that you, the people of Mzansi, were going to support and love us so much. Thank you so much to my family, my beautiful wives and my lovely, wonderful children,” he wrote.

From his polygamy journey to attempts to take a fifth wife, Musa and his family have kept viewers glued to their screens.

Musa began his journey in polygamy when he was 23, marrying his first wife Busisiwe “MaCele” Mseleku, and later Nokukhanya “Mayeni” Mseleku, third wife Thobile aka MaKhumalo and fourth wife Mbali aka MaNgwabe.

He's carrying out a vision he saw for his life at a young age to have a big family which has now grown to what he refers to as an “institution”. Though he had no example growing up, Musa says he feels confident he will succeed regardless of the hurdles that come his way.

“When I started, I thought I was going to fail, but now I think I can stand on top of the mountain and say, 'yes, I've made it'.  It's been over 20 years ... any vision at any point gets to be reaffirmed whether it's still following its intended original form or not.”
