On the most recent edition of Uthando Nesthembu, Musa Mseleku brought up the subject of him wanting to take a fifth wife during his visit with MaCele. Throughout the course of the meeting, Musa kept MaCele informed on the conversation pertaining to the fifth wife.
When Musa Mseleku tried to explain how helpless he felt when his wives refused to give their blessing for him to marry another lady, he sobbed uncontrollably. He is going to do something that will make MaCele more unhappy than any of his other wives have ever been, and he feels like a failure as a result of it.
Musa Mseleku left after having a conversation with MaCele, at which point MaCele started crying as well. MaCele was overcome with emotion and began crying because she did not want any of the other wives to leave. Musa Mseleku, not only because to the presence of the fifth wife, but also due to the fact that Musa let slip that MaYeni and MaNgwabe had previously known each other.
Despite what was written in her diary, MaCele does not wish to part ways with certain people because she believes they will not support Musa Mseleku.
She is aware that her insistence that Musa Mseleku’s upcoming marriage to a fifth wife will not lead any of his present wives to carry out their threats to leave him is not helping the situation, but she continues to believe that it will.
My best opinion is that MaCele has realized that Musa Mseleku is in a difficult situation, which is the likely cause of her inconsolable state. If she had her way, Musa Mseleku would be able to wed a fifth wife in tranquility, and none of the other wives would be permitted to leave the union. However, if she did not get her way, Musa Mseleku would not be able to wed a fifth wife.
