“Musa Mseleku Celebrates Family’s Sabela Awards Nomination for ‘Uthando Nes’thembu'”
South African television personality Musa Mseleku has expressed gratitude after his family’s reality show Uthando Nes’thembu received a nomination at the prestigious Sabela KZN Film and Television Awards. The show’s eighth season is competing in the Best Reality Show category alongside Real Housewives of Durban and Icala.
A Family Achievement
Mseleku, 50, emphasized this recognition belongs to his entire family:
“This nomination celebrates my wives and children who’ve shared our journey with viewers. Our story wouldn’t exist without their courage and authenticity.”
About the Nominated Season
Season 8 featured significant moments including:
- Mseleku’s health journey recovering from a stroke
- The introduction of his fifth wife, Samke Khwela
- Family discussions about cultural expectations in polygamy
Cultural Impact
Since its 2017 premiere, the show has:
✔ Sparked national conversations about modern polygamy
✔ Educated viewers about Zulu cultural practices
✔ Broken viewership records for Mzansi Magic
Future of the Series
While fans speculate about Season 9, Mseleku noted:
“The network determines our future. Regardless, we’re proud of how this show has connected with South Africans.”
The awards ceremony will be held later this month in Durban.
