Musa Mseleku’s eldest wife, MaCele, has candidly discussed her life in a polygamous marriage and the challenges it posed, including the tragic loss of one of his husband’s wife.According to MaCele, she dated Musa Mseleku for two years before he proposed. Initially, she disapproved of the idea of a second wife but changed her mind when Musa expressed his desire to have 20 children, a prospect she found overwhelming. To avoid being selfish and preventing other women from becoming single mothers, she agreed to let him have children with other wives.

Tragically, Musa’s second wife passed away in a car accident, making him married to a total of five women.

MaCele admitted that she couldn’t bear the thought of him touching her after he married his late wife, MaSaule. However, with time, she came to accept their unique situation, deciding to live separately from the other wives to cope better with the complex dynamics of their polygamous relationship.
