MaCele has refused to meet Musa Mseleku’s fifth wife until the lobola (bride price) has been paidAFTER a six-year wait, reality star and polygamist Musa Mseleku (49) is set to introduce his soon-to-be fifth wife.

Mseleku, who already has four wives, has confirmed that the identity of his “fifth wife” will be revealed to South Africa, starting with a formal introduction to his first wife Busisiwe “MaCele” Mseleku.

Speculation has been rife over the years, with recent rumours suggesting actress Ntokozo Mzulwini as the potential fifth wife, a claim Mseleku has since dismissed.

In a twist on his reality show Uthando Nes’thembu, aired on Mzansi Magic on Thursday, 9 May, Mseleku teased viewers by showing his fifth wife without revealing her face.

The introduction has hit a snag, however, as MaCele has refused to meet her until lobola (bride price) has been paid.Mseleku respects an agreement with MaCele that the fifth wife must first be introduced to her, emphasising the importance of not breaking this pact.The big reveal is scheduled for the upcoming episode on Thursday, 16 May.

Mseleku has also taken traditional steps by burning impepho (incense) to inform his ancestors of his decision to take a fifth wife.

“We’ve reached a conclusion to inform ancestors that I’m going to take wife number five,” Mseleku stated, highlighting the importance of ancestral approval and anticipated reaction from his other wives,” he said.

“Ancestors are the only ones I have to ask permission from, then I must inform MaCele and the other wives.”

He said those who want to go, must go.

Meseleku said he’s aware his fourth wife MaNgwabe might leave him and unsure about MaYeni. However, he knows MaKhumalo will ululate while MaCele will want to see the fifth wife.

**A Star in the Making?**

Actress Natasha Thahane’s son has become an internet sensation after showcasing his impressive football skills in a viral video. The clip, shared on TikTok, has sparked thousands of reactions, with fans praising the young boy’s talent.

Despite his young age, his quick footwork and confidence on the ball left many in awe. Social media users couldn’t help but draw comparisons to his rumored father, Mamelodi Sundowns star Thembinkosi Lorch.

## **Social Media Reactions**
Fans immediately linked the child’s talent to Lorch, speculating that he inherited his father’s football genes. One fan commented, *“Like father, like son,”* while another added, *“The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.”*

Another user, @sisanda_atara, complimented Natasha, saying, *“You’re so lucky to have such a precious little one! He looks like Boss Baby, so cute.”*

While Natasha has never publicly confirmed Lorch as the father, their past relationship has fueled speculation.

## **A Complicated Love Story**
Natasha Thahane and Thembinkosi Lorch’s romance made headlines in 2021. The couple reportedly welcomed their son in 2022, though they never officially confirmed the paternity.

Their relationship has been a rollercoaster, marked by breakups and reconciliations. However, in 2024, Natasha announced their final split.

Taking to Instagram, she shared, *“A brief update: Thembinkosi Lorch and I have mutually decided to part ways romantically. Despite the change in our relationship, we will remain friends and co-parents.”*

Reports suggest that their relationship was marred by cheating allegations, which began surfacing in 2023. Despite their breakup, Natasha emphasized that they would continue to co-parent their son in a healthy and supportive manner.https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMkqhCfHd/

## **Football Talent Runs in the Family**
If Natasha’s son continues on this path, he could follow in the footsteps of other children of football stars who have made headlines with their skills.

For example, the late Senzo Meyiwa’s daughter, Thingo, has shown great potential and often impresses fans with her talent. Many believe that children naturally inherit their parents’ gifts, and Natasha’s son may be no exception.

## **What’s Next for Natasha’s Son?**
While it’s too early to say if he will pursue a professional football career, fans are already excited about his potential. With the right guidance and training, he could become a future football star, just like the man many believe to be his father.

For now, Natasha continues to keep her private life out of the spotlight, focusing on raising her son while maintaining her successful acting career.

Regardless of what the future holds, one thing is certain—Mzansi is watching this little boy closely, and they are loving what they see!

Thank you to everyone for your prayers, condolences and presence.😔🫂
