Enhle Mbali replies ex-husband DJ Black Coffee
Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has generated significant attention on social media following her recent Instagram posts, which many interpret as a response to her ex-husband, DJ Black Coffee. This comes in light of his remarks regarding their marriage.
The actress and fashion designer shared messages that referenced themes of hurt, betrayal, and emotional suffering shortly after Black Coffee, whose real name is Nkosinathi Maphumulo, publicly rejected the notion that they had entered into a customary marriage.
His statements were made amidst renewed interest in their separation following a Constitutional Court decision that deemed antenuptial contracts signed after customary marriages to be invalid.
One of the quotes featured in Enhle’s Instagram Stories included an image from HBO’s Euphoria, with the message: “When the person who created your trauma complains about your pain.”
Another video illustrated a man giving water to a snake that later attacks him, with the accompanying text reading: “Some souls know nothing but betrayal. No matter how much kindness they receive.”
Although Enhle did not directly name Black Coffee, the context surrounding her posts led to considerable speculation across social platforms.
Black Coffee addressed the situation shortly after the Constitutional Court’s ruling, responding to a video by podcaster Penuel Mlotshwa, who suggested that payment of lobola does not equate to a civil union or an in-community-of-property marriage.
In the commentary, the DJ clearly stated: “There was no customary marriage.” He noted that both he and Enhle “never intended to do a customary marriage” and claimed, “even our prenup stated that we were unmarried.”
The couple took part in a traditional Zulu wedding ceremony in 2011 after lobola discussions with Enhle’s family and later signed an antenuptial contract in 2017 prior to their white wedding at Sun City.
However, their divorce, which concluded last year in the Johannesburg High Court, resulted in a ruling that identified the 2017 antenuptial contract as invalid.
Consequently, Black Coffee was ordered to provide Enhle with over R60,000 in monthly spousal maintenance until her death or remarriage.
While Enhle Mbali has not directly commented on Black Coffee’s statements, her recent social media activities have been widely viewed as a nuanced response, contributing to the ongoing narrative of their public divorce.
