Mpumelelo spills on relationship with Amahle

The aspiring polygamist, Mpumelelo, told TshisaLIVE that his father taught him a valuable lesson on respect.

"What I learnt from my father is to be truthful, humble and respectful and know how to apologise. I got the opportunity to showcase what I do and how to structure polygamy. It's not forced, it's something I was raised in. People are failing to understand that."

Mseleku did admit that they sent a letter to Kale's family asking for their blessing to marry her; however, he was ignored.
