Musa Mseleku’s son speaks out on polygamy and desire for more than four wives

Musa Mseleku’s son, Mpumelelo, may be following in his father’s footsteps by having multiple women in his life. In fact, he has plans to have even more wives than his father. During a recent interview on The Venting Podcast, Mpumelelo openly discussed his decision to have two girlfriends. He explained that he understands that polygamy is not solely about financial means, but he is ensuring that he can provide for more than one woman.

“We have a lot of girlfriends and then there would be one you choose as a woman you could take home to introduce to the family. You can’t just have one girlfriend and make that girl your wife only for that person to betray you. You have to date a lot of women then choose,” he said.

“I love women. I would be lying if I said my father convinced me into being a polygamist. If I was doing it for my father, I would not be able to continue doing it. I am still going to continue. I won’t say how many women I plan to have, but they are more than my father has.”

In addition to his two girlfriends, Mpumelelo has also admitted to having casual relations with Queen Lolly, whose real name is Nomfundo Shezi. In a previous interview with news reporters, Mpumelelo’s father, Musa, a well-known polygamist and businessman with four wives, expressed happiness that his son had independently chosen to pursue polygamy.

“Mpumelelo has to first answer to himself as a person, whether what he’s doing is exactly what he wants or it’s what he’s seeing me doing. He has to be truthful to himself to say, ‘Am I ready to go through this journey with these women’, because if that’s not the case, he will fail, even while I’m around, because he has to love it, live it and own it.

“I have an obligation as his father to say, ‘My son, I’m not excited by the fact that you’re following in my footsteps, but what will excite me is that you, as a grown-up man, take a decision, you own the decision, to live this kind of a lifestyle … because you will then extend the vision,’” he said.
