I have heard several men argue that the only way to stop cheating on their partners is through polygamy, a situation lots of women do not want to find themselves. But I have not actually come across a ‘contemporary’ man who has put this theory into practice until I heard about this 43-year-old South African.
This man, identified Musa Mseleku is reportedly married to four wives with ten children. He is a businessman based in Port Shepstone. In his new reality show titled “Uthando Nes’thembu”, which means “Love and Polygamy” has opened his relationship with his wives and their 10 children to the public eye.
Speaking to reporters, he said his four wives – Busisiwe MaCele, Nokukhanya MaYeni, Thobile Mseleku and Mbali MaNgwabe are very happy to be married to him, adding that although he has faced heavy criticism from some people, he wanted to change people’s perceptions of polygamy.
“One of the biggest misconceptions [about] polygamous lifestyles is that it is a culture which seeks to oppress women,” Mr Mseleku said.
“I want to show men that you can be in a polygamous relationship and also be considerate. My wives impose restrictions on me. I have to be home an hour earlier than them so I can prepare to spend time with all of them,” He added.
