Polygamist and reality show star Musa Mseleku has encouraged Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini to take more wives. 

Mseleku was part of the guests official certificate of recognition handover event held at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, 29 October 2022. 

MSELEKU WANTS KING MISUZULU TO BE A POLYGAMIST

Musa Mseleku of Umnakwethu and Uthando Nesthembu fame has four wives and is looking at taking a fifth one.

Speaking to KwaZulu-Natal based vernacular publication Isolezwe, Mseleku said he encourages the monarch to take more wives because he too (Misuzulu) was born in a polygamous family so it’s only fair that he follows in his father’s footsteps. 

“A king is nothing without queens, he should have many wives. It can’t be that the king has one palace while we as ordinary men have more wives and  homesteads,” he said. 

King Misuzulu is married to Ntokozo Mayisela and they have a son together. 

The two reportedly met in August 2009 during King Misuzulu’s sister’s wedding. The monarch soon sent his elders to Mayisela’s home in Newcastle to negotiate and pay lobola in May 2021. The two have done other traditional ceremonies to make their marriage official.  

In late November King Misuzulu also took Stellenbosch University graduate and Managing Director of Eswatini Bank Nozizwe Mulela as his second wife and the two have reportedly been together for over ten years. In September, unconfirmed rumours surfaced that the pair has split. 

Mulela was present at the event in Moses Mabhida where President Cyril Ramaphosa handed over the certificate of recognition to the ninth Zulu monarch.

According to the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Government 2500 international guests including heads of state, former presidents kings and queens, judiciary, legislatures, diplomats as well as the business sector were expected.

Thousands of Zulu regiments, maidens, Ministers, MECs and various other people from different walks of life gathered to witness the historic and once in a lifetime event which was last witnessed by many in 1971 where the late King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu was coronated.
