Towards the end of season five of the reality television show Uthando Nes’thembu, it was revealed that Musa Mseleku had plans to take on a fifth wife.
As a polygamist this is expected, but the businessman received some backlash from his wives because he promised them he would not take on any other wives.
“I’m asking my wives to allow me to take a fifth wife, it’s no longer a question to me. I’m just waiting for them to say yes or no. And, I’m doing it the modern way. If it was before [during the olden days], I’d be telling them that I’m taking another wife.
“The way it’s supposed to be done, is for me to engage with the first wife and tell her I intend to take a fifth wife and she would communicate with the other wives, but in the modern times – it does not work that way because all the wives have to be treated equally,” said Mseleku.
Wedding plans or not, the alleged fifth partner has decided to make herself known to the public and has revealed her identity on social media.
From what we have gathered from social media is that Mseleku’s fifth love interest is Faith Duma, a young woman from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal who is now currently based in Johannesburg.
Duma studied at the Durban University of Technology, and is currently the founder of an organisation called Women Empowered by Faith, which focuses on “encouragement, empowering and equipping women to live confidently knowing the truth about who they are as daughters of God and to walk courageously in God’s calling to be set apart from His purpose”.

Although Mseleku’s plans to take Faith as his fifth wife have fallen through the cracks, this has not stopped Duma from forming close bonds with her sister wives.
Taking to social media earlier this year, Duma shared a picture of herself and reality television star, Thobile Khumalo, and said in the caption of the post that many people have said that they look alike.
“So you guys say we look alike. Ngasho ngayibona lento,” said Duma.
Earlier in June, she took to social media to wish Mseleku’s second wife Mayeni a happy birthday and shared a picture which she took with her.
“Happy birthday to our Queen! Phela thina oMseleku sizisikela kwelinonile. Happy birhday koti, can’t wait to see you. Enjoy,” said Duma.
