THURSDAY'S EPISODE The first episode put a spotlight on Mseleku's fourth wife, Mbali MaNgwabe whom fans perceived as rude and talkative.
--
She revealed that Mseleku is cheating on his wives which led to the polygamist admitting that he's got both wives and girlfriends.
I am loved. I'm a loveable man. I have wives and girlfriends, he says.
Fans also admired how Mseleku appreciated each of his wives by letting them know that they are all beautiful.
If you want to be a polygamist, you have to make sure you have deep pockets one of Mseleku s kids
I hope those men from Mnakwethu heard that #Uthandonesthembu pic.twitter.com/jfHlgPzjw3

The episode also showed Mseleku communicating with his ancestors and showed his children who are all grown.
One of his sons discussed polygamy on the show and revealed that only men who have the money to sustain their relationships should get into polygamous relationships.
If you want to be a polygamist then you'd better have deep pockets.
When I become a polygamist, I won't be like my father who has wives who live separately. I will have a massive yard.
Fans of the show also requested Mzansi Magic to air the show longer than 30 minutes as they felt that the episode was too short.
