Wedding bells are ringing on Scandal! — and there’s a famous face in the crowd!

Reality TV heavyweight Musa Mseleku is making a star cameo in what’s being dubbed the wedding event of the year: Nhloso and Dintle’s much-anticipated nuptials, airing Friday, 29 August 2025 on e.tv.

Famous for his polygamous lifestyle and hit show Uthando Nes’thembu, Mseleku trades real-life romance for soapie drama as he steps into Scandal! for a one-episode guest appearance. With his strong cultural roots and undeniable screen presence, he adds a powerful dose of authenticity to an episode that’s bound to have fans glued to their screens — and buzzing long after the credits roll.

Drama, drama, and DDRRRAAAMMMMMMAAAA

Dintle and Nhloso are set to tie the knot, but not without stirring up serious family drama.

With no blessing from Nhloso’s first wife, their path to the altar is riddled with tension and turmoil. The lobola negotiations have been far from easy, facing resistance from Nhloso’s elders who question his decision to take a second wife.

To make matters more complicated, Nhloso uncovers unsettling secrets about Dintle’s previous marriages, adding another twist to the already fragile situation. Despite the hurdles, the couple is determined to celebrate their love with a heartfelt, culturally rich wedding. And with Musa Mseleku stepping into the story, fans can look forward to a captivating mix of tradition and gripping TV drama.
