Uthando neS’thembu set to air uncut special reveals

12 months By Zintle Mdaka

Mzansi Magic promises viewers some never-seen-before footage of their favourite polygamous family, the Mselekus, by airing a six-episode special titled Uthando neS’thembu:Uncut.

The channel is bringing more than just unseen footage, but raw emotions and real conversations. Each episode will focus on one major storyline – from Nokukhanya MaYeni Mseleku’s emotional confessions, Musa Mseleku and Thobile MaKhumalo Mseleku’s increasingly strained relationship, the rising tension between the wives and Musa’s struggle to preserve his family.

Mzansi was introduced to Musa and his four wives, MaCele, MaYeni, MaNgwabe and MaKhumalo, in May 2017 when the first season of Uthando neS’thembu premiered on Mzansi Magic. Eight seasons later, viewers have witnessed their journey of transformation and growth, including the addition of wife number five, MaKhwela.

The Mseleku family has consistently opened their lives to the nation and now this special broadcast takes that openness to a whole new level.

The Uthando neS’thembu:Uncut will premiere on Friday 05 December at 20:00.
