Podcaster and commentator Penuel Mlotshwa, known as The Black Pen, has shared his reaction to Enhle Mbali’s recent confirmation of her official divorce from Black Coffee.
While some celebrated her newfound freedom, others offered their insights, including Mlotshwa’s.
On X (formerly Twitter), Penuel expressed regret for DJ Black Coffee, suggesting that the situation should serve as a warning to those considering marriage.
He stated: “I feel sorry for Black Coffee, but let this be a lesson to everyone who wants to get married. Coffee paid amalobolo, which the court interpreted as the official start date of their customary marriage.”
Penuel elaborated that the court had dismissed the couple’s prenuptial agreement, determining that Enhle had been misled and lacked adequate legal support.
This ruling classified their marriage as a customary union, signifying that they were married in community of property, thus granting Enhle the right to spousal maintenance.
He noted: “As soon as you pay even R100 in ilobolo, the courts deem you married customarily and automatically in community of property. The fact that courts can also override pre-nups means that those with them are no longer automatically protected.”
Concluding his remarks, Penuel made a light-hearted comment to men, stating, “Nisenjeni basically. Shadani kodwa bafwethu… angeke sinidlele umona,” which translates to, “Be careful, my brothers… we can’t envy you.”
