Mzansi Viewers not impressed with the new Show #Mnakwethu
Mzansi Magic’s new reality show, Mnakwethu is seemingly not striking a chord with the viewers. Mnakwethu is premised around all things relating to Isithembu (polygamy). Men who wish to pursue the polygamy route, write into the show, with the hopes of being guided by well-known polygamist, Musa Mseleku of Uthando Nes’thembu fame.
The show is understandably meant to enlighten the viewers about the chronicles and dialogue around the institution of Isithembu.
However, scores of viewers, especially women, have noted how this program shows a total disregard for women and the original intent of polygamy that is practised within African cultures.
They should rename this show to “bringing out makhwapheni” 🤦🏾♂️ #Mnakwethu pic.twitter.com/RuugQfmV67

One of the excuses for polygamy is that a man takes a second wife so that he doesn't cheat but you've been cheating for 8 years already. There's nothing admirable about his efforts to try and convince MaMlotshwa to bless his affair. #Mnakwethu
