If there’s one thing that’s certain in season 4 of family reality show Uthando Nes’thembu (2018-now), it’s that the four Mseleku wives have completely come out of their shells. For the first time, viewers are seeing them in their entirety. Besides keeping their polygamist businessman hubby Musa (45) on his toes, the sister wives are juggling their careers and motherhood. “We’re much more comfortable with being in front of the camera than ever before,” says third wife Thobile aka MaKhumalo (31).

Outspoken first wife Busisiwe “MaCele” (43) is now running a restaurant, while the ever-so-candid second wife Nokukhanya “MaYeni” (38) recently partnered with a boutique and launched a clothing range for plus-size women. Meanwhile, the bubbly MaKhumalo was seen hard at work in the first episode as a consultant at a mine. Finally, reserved fourth wife and nurse Mbali “MaNgwabe” (37) is tied up with studies.
