‘I am not a boy anymore': Mpumelelo Mseleku pays lobola
Mpumelelo also explained why he was unable to pay lobola for his long-time girlfriend, Tirelo Kale, first. Reality TV star Mpumelelo Mseleku is overjoyed after finally paying lobola for one of his girlfriends, Amahle Mgazi. 'Now I will not be underestimated. I am not a boy anymore; I am a man,' Mpumelelo said proudly in the latest episode of Izingane Zes'thembu. Mpumelelo, the son of polygamist and businessman Musa Mseleku, has three children with his girlfriend Tirelo Kale and his ex-girlfriend Vuyokazi Nciweni. He introduced Amahle in the latest season of Izingane Zes'thembu, which premiered in May this year.

'I wanted to have MaKale [Tirelo] as the first wife. But my problem is that the Kale family doesn't want to start the negotiation process. I can't let this burden me. 'It should be something that they work out as a family in their own time. I want to build my home. I can't wait for them,' he said. Meanwhile, on the show, Tirelo said she was no longer ready to become Mpumelelo's wife. 'I was ready, but not anymore… Seeing that he didn't tell me he was going to ask for Amahle's hand in marriage, he must not pay lobola for me. I have already sent my family a message,' she said. Tirelo also hinted at trouble in paradise during an interview with The Citizen a few weeks ago. 'I don't know. There's a lot of ngena phuma [coming and going]. Maybe I'll just go,' she said, speaking about her future with Mpumelelo. READ MORE: Q&A with Tirelo and Mpumelelo Mseleku: Parenthood, engagement rumours and 'Izingane Zes'thembu' S3

Q&A with young Izingane Zes'thembu couple Tirelo and Mpumelelo
We caught up with Tirelo and Mpumelelo to talk about the new season, including those engagement rumours. The third season of Uthando Nes'thembu spin-off Izingane Zes'thembu premiered in May this year, offering viewers a look into the lives of the next generation of the Mseleku family. The Season 3 trailer hinted at trouble in paradise for young couple Tirelo Kale and Mpumelelo Mseleku, who return to the screen alongside siblings Sne, Mpilo, Lwandle, Abongwe and others. We caught up with Tirelo and Mpumelelo to discuss what fans can expect this season, their journey as parents, and whether there's any truth to those engagement rumours. While Mpumelelo chose not to answer some of our questions, here's what they had to say.

Tirelo: They can expect growth — and a little bit of betrayal [laughs]. As we grow, we're also discovering new things about each other. Mpumelelo: Viewers can expect good things from us, even though we'll go through some challenges. How has your experience on the show evolved since Season 1, and your relationships with your siblings? Tirelo: The first season was a bit overwhelming because I was pregnant. But now, I'm much more comfortable in front of the camera. We're able to be ourselves, and there's growth in that. I'm still trying to figure out the relationship with the siblings, even though it's not always easy. Mpumelelo: I've grown a lot personally, and the bond between my partner and I has also become stronger. How has parenthood been for you, and what has it taught you? Tirelo: Motherhood is beautiful but challenging. I'm grateful for the support system I have — Mpumelelo's mum and my family have both been there. So I'd say I'm managing well, apart from the small fights with Mpumelelo [laughs]. How is Mpumelelo as a father? Tirelo: Yoh! Mpumelelo as a father? I honestly don't know — I'd rather not speak for him. I guess viewers will see for themselves on the show. There are rumours that you and Mpumelelo are engaged. Is that true? Tirelo: On that one, I'd say viewers should stay tuned to Mzansi Magic. I don't want to spoil anything — maybe we'll all find out together. Where do you see your relationship in five years? Tirelo: I don't know. There's a lot of ngena phuma (coming and going). Maybe I'll just go. NOW READ: Mandisi Dyantyis running for the Methodist Church at this year's Comrades Marathon
