His polygamous lifestyle, which includes several wives, has caused great debate. It has also prompted thought about the significance of culture and personal choice in today’s world.
Discussions have frequently centred on Mseleku’s relationships. They provide a unique, close-up look at the pleasures, difficulties, and details of polygamy in the modern day. Viewers have responded to his lifestyle in a variety of ways.

“I know that some of my wives ensure that they prevent having more children. So, my dream is not possible under these circumstances. I cannot say I am leaving this to my sons. Because they will have children of their own and their families, but mine is to guide them.”
There have been difficulties associated with his decision to grow his family. The idea of Mseleku being married to more women has angered some of his spouses. Some even threatened to dissolve the marriage if he carried out his schemes. However, Mseleku has insisted that he was explicit about his objectives from the beginning. He was determined to continue living by his values.

“My children know what is good and bad for them. So, the biggest protection comes from them rather than me. Mpumelelo Mseleku is bound to make mistakes because he is young. Bhut with time, he will be a great person.”
