Season 9 of Uthando NeS’thembu Premieres Tonight on Mzansi Magic

Season 9 premieres at 8PM exclusively on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161), with new episodes twice a week on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Now in its ninth season, the series continues to follow Musa alongside his wives, MaCele, MaYeni, MaNgwabe and MaKhumalo. This season also sees MaKhwela, better known as Number 5, firmly in the fray, with her presence continuing to test the family dynamic.

The new season picks up after the explosive December special, #Uncut: Uthando neS’thembu,which left the family at a crossroads. Viewers watched as some of the wives openly spoke about possibly leaving the marriage, while Musa Mseleku dealt with serious health issues. The once lively and jovial household was forced to confront hard truths, make difficult decisions and begin mending relationships that had been deeply strained.

“After eight seasons, we are now experiencing something completely different, brought on by the introduction of MaKhwela,” says Musa, who was up for Best Male TV Personality at last year’s National Film and Television Awards South Africa, whereUthando Nes’thembuand its spinoffIzingane Zes’thembuwere both nominated for Best Non-Scripted TV Series. “The core idea of the family’s legacy is being put to the test, and viewers will have a front-row seat to everything.” Even after eight seasons, he believes this season will continue to surprise and entertain. “It is important to keep telling the story because as we grow, the story grows, and it becomes more dynamic,” says Musa.

“People should watch this season because it brings something new. For the first time, we see the reactions of all the people involved in the show. Nothing will be hidden from them as they get the opportunity to be part of the family and have the right to openly share their opinions.” https://youtube.com/shorts/RqSYDZtLRDA?si=7-ezZEt9TrlJR4lB
