‘Be thankful for what you’re receiving’ – Mnini Mseleku to his sister

3y By Bongiwe Mati

The Mseleku family’s reality show Uthando Nesithembu aired its latest episode displaying a father and kids’ moment that made viewers fall in love with Musa’s son Mnini.

The reality show which has been airing for seven years follows Musa Mseleku’s polygamous life as he navigates it with his four wives and 10 children.

Musa has two kids that he fathered before his marriages, She and Mpilo. He also has three kids with his first wife MaCele, namely, Lwandle, Abongwe and Owami. With his second wife MaYeni, he has Mpumelelo, Mniniwezintozonke and Obanzi, and his fourth MaNgwabe, the polygamist has two kids Mawande and Zenande.

When the Mseleku young girls, Owami, Mawande, and Thando (granddaughter) asked for cell phones from their father Musa, Mnini asked for a keyboard. After bringing cell phones to the three girls, promising to get Mnini’s keyboard later, Mnini expressed that he had changed his mind and asked for a cell phone instead.

Upon receiving new phones, Owami expressed her disappointment, saying the phone was smaller than what she currently has, probing Mnini to ask if she said thank you for the gift instead of complaining.

He added:

“Be thankful for what you are receiving.”

Mnini was later given the phone that Owami did not want and expressed joy upon receiving it. He also shared that he will share the keyboard with his siblings when his father gets it for him.

Viewers took to the internet to express their love for Mnini, commenting:
