Reality TV star and polygamist Musa Mseleku says a person doesn't need money to practise polygamy.

In an interview on the podcast Affirmation he went into detail about how he became a polygamist.

Mseleku became popular after the airing of his reality TV show Uthando Nes'ithembu that follows him, his children four wives. He is a businessman and recently got his first acting role in Mzansi Magic's drama series My Brother's Keeper.

He said people don't understand how polygamy works. He entered into polygamy without money and today people have the wrong idea about the marriage arrangement.

“People get confused. They think you need money to be a polygamist. Money doesn't make you a polygamist. Money will be an improvisation to take care of marriage. No matter how much money you have, if you are not brave you can't be a polygamist.

“Polygamy isn't fashionable. Money doesn't make polygamy. Real polygamy doesn't rely on one wife. If a man wants to take a second or third wife, it mustn't be on the terms and conditions of that wife,” he said.

Mseleku said there are women who rejected him when he asked them to enter into his arrangement but realised later polygamy can work.

“There's a lot of them who have rejected me. It was difficult to convince them to join me on this path.”

TshisaLIVE attempted to contact Mseleku for comment but he wasn't available.
