WATCH: Thobile MaKhumalo Mseleku’s age shocks Mzansi
South African reality TV personality, Thobile “MaKhumalo” Mseleku, recently found herself at the center of age-shaming discussions on social media. Gossip blogger Musa Khawula stirred the pot by revealing that it was her birthday and disclosing her current age, sparking a flurry of reactions from netizens who were taken aback by the revelation.
The former star of “Real Housewives of Durban” (RHOD) garnered attention for her appearance, with many expressing surprise that she looks older than her actual age. Some speculated whether her involvement in a polygamous marriage might have contributed to her appearing older than expected.
MaKhumalo, renowned as the third wife of TV presenter and serial polygamist Musa Mseleku, rose to fame alongside her family through their reality TV show, “Uthando Nes’thembu.” Despite the fame of her family, MaKhumalo carved her own path by appearing in RHOD season two and co-hosting Mzansi Wethu’s reality series “Ezomshado” with her sister-wife, MaCele.
Despite facing criticism from some corners of social media for being timid and uninteresting, MaKhumalo has amassed a sizable following online. However, on her 35th birthday, which was announced by Khawula, many were shocked to discover her age.
Commenters on the post expressed disbelief, with many assuming she was in her forties due to her appearance. Some attributed her perceived older aura to the stress of marriage, while others praised her beauty despite any aging effects they perceived.
The discussion surrounding MaKhumalo’s age serves as a reminder of the scrutiny public figures face, even in areas as personal as their appearance and age. Despite the opinions expressed, MaKhumalo continues to captivate audiences with her presence on reality television.
