Mpumelelo Mseleku ‘BAN NED’ from Seeing His 3 Kids Ex-Wife Moves On

The ongoing drama between polygamist reality star Mpumelelo Mseleku and his ex-wife, Vuyokazi Nciweni, has taken a new turn, with Mseleku claiming that Nciweni is keeping their three children away from him. The couple, who were married for 10 years, have been navigating the complexities of their separation, but Mseleku now alleges that Nciweni is preventing him from maintaining a relationship with their children.


 

 

 
Here is why people are saying MaNgwabe is dangerous and its good that Musa Mseleku wants to divorce her.
Mseleku, who gained fame on the popular reality show *Uthando Nesthembu*, has been vocal about his desire to remain a constant presence in his children’s lives despite his split from Nciweni. In a recent interview, he expressed his frustration and pain over the situation, saying, “I’m hurt because I’m not seeing my children. I don’t know what’s going on. I’m trying to understand why she’s doing this.”

The situation has been further complicated by Nciweni’s recent marriage to another man, which Mseleku believes has contributed to the difficulties in co-parenting. Despite these challenges, Mseleku has made it clear that his primary concern is the well-being of his children. “I’m not trying to cause any drama,” he stated. “I just want to see my kids. That’s all.”Nciweni, who has not publicly responded to Mseleku’s allegations, has yet to comment on the situation.

While Mseleku has remained hopeful that the situation can be resolved amicably, the ongoing tension between him and Nciweni suggests that a resolution may not be on the horizon.
