One of TV’s hottest shows is back for a fifth season, and it promises to be the wildest ride yet. Musa Mseleku and his four wives are ready to be the talk of the social media town when brand-new episodes of the much-loved Uthando Nes’thembu come to Mzansi Magic in September.
Season 4 ended on a cliffhanger, with Musa confronting his wives about the lack of harmony between the households, wives dressing inappropriately and other accusations that have divided the family.
Season 5 picks up with the Mseleku wives reuniting to fix their issues and explore what led to them in the first place. Mamkhulu takes the lead by organising an all-girls trip – but will this have the intended effect, or will it only sow further seeds of division?
This doesn’t mean Musa is off the hook – he is taken to task by his wives for his own shortcomings, such as his inconsistency and lack of truthfulness when it comes to how he deals with each relationship.
Season 5 continues to explore each woman’s storyline, from MaCele’s intention to move out of the homestead and MaYeni’s journey as a grandmother, to MaNgwabe trying to heal her shaky marriage and MaKhumalo navigating her fertility issues.
In the beginning it seemed Musa understood the adage “happy wife, happy life”, but as the seasons have progressed, he has struggled to keep everyone happy. Will he finally find his way back to marital equilibrium, or has he built a house of cards?
