In the spirit of celebrating Valentine’s Day this love month, many people took to social media to either express love for their partners or show off their valentines’ gifts. Businessman, and television producer Musa Mseleku took some time to appreciate his four wives who have been with him for over twenty years.
This he did while sharing that they don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day in his households, but they do celebrate love. Musa is in a polygamous marriage with MaCele, MaYeni, MaKhumalo and MaNgwabe whom he has a total of 10 kids.
Detailing his polygamy journey, the Mnakwethu producer and presenter shared:
“What I started at the age of 23 years as a young man seemed to be impossible but look, we are here still celebrating love. INdlovukazi MaMkhulu MaCele, INdlunkulu Shibase MaYeni, INdlunkulu MaK MaKhumalo and INdlunkulu Nombela MaNgwabe we might not celebrate Valentine, but we are indeed celebrating love.”
He also touched on the seven years of their reality TV show, Uthando Nesithembu and the 20 years spent together, adding:
“We are humbled to have reached season 7 on television which forms part of our business ventures but most importantly we have been together for over 20 years. That alone is a great achievement. We managed to see that in our diverse background, but we can come together and make it work.”
Many internet users have in the past questioned him on his use of the Zulu term indlunkulu when referring to all his wives. This is due to the term being popularly referenced to the first wife or main house. Musa explained his reasons adding:
“Most people would often say why all of them are Queens, it is simple the legacy we are building is so great and culture is dynamic. Their public status has afforded them that indeed the vision is great, and the legacy is growing. When they joined us isithembu was not fashionable, but they chose sona (it) and Naso isithembu sabakhetha (polygamy also chose them). As Mina ngiyisithembu naso siyimina (I am polygamy and polygamy is me).”
