Actress Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa Finalizes Divorce from DJ Black Coffee After Six-Year Battle
Johannesburg – Actress and fashion entrepreneur Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has publicly declared her single status after finalizing her divorce from DJ Black Coffee.
On Instagram, Enhle shared her emotions, stating, “Today, with deep feeling, I announce that I am officially Miss Mlotshwa.”
She disclosed that her challenging six-year legal struggle to end her marriage to the internationally acclaimed DJ, known as Nkosinathi Maphumulo, was concluded on Friday, 10 October 2025.
Enhle reflected on her journey, describing it as an “ugly journey” that ultimately contributed to her personal development and imparted valuable lessons.
The actress expressed her gratitude towards her legal team, particularly Attorney Jerry Nkeli, whom she regards as a father figure.
She acknowledged the unwavering support of her mother, Bongi Mlotshwa, her sister, Kutlwano Molete, and loyal friends who stood by her throughout this difficult period.
The divorce proceedings, which began in 2019, were marred by public accusations of infidelity and emotional turmoil.
Mlotshwa pointed to the births of two children by two different women during their marriage as a pivotal reason for her decision to end the relationship, emphasizing a breach of trust and respect.
On Instagram, Jerry Nkeli Attorneys and Associates announced that the Johannesburg high court ruled in favor of Mlotshwa, granting her the relief she sought.
The court upheld that her customary marriage was legitimate and conducted under community of property.
As a result, the estranged couple’s antenuptial contract was declared invalid, requiring Black Coffee to pay spousal maintenance.
The attorneys’ post stated: “Antenuptial Contract Invalidated: The court also nullified the antenuptial contract signed in 2017, stating that Mbali was misled and lacked legal guidance.
“The contract could not override the default property regime of their customary marriage.”
“This landmark ruling highlights the importance of protecting women’s rights in customary marriages.”
The ruling entitles Mlotshwa to half of the couple’s shared assets accumulated during their marriage, which started in 2012, followed by their separation in 2019, and mandates Black Coffee to provide both spousal and child maintenance for their two sons.
This case underscores the legal intricacies between customary and civil marriage laws in South Africa.
Black Coffee has not yet commented on inquiries regarding his next steps.
Meanwhile, Enhle has been receiving an outpouring of supportive messages from well-wishers on social media.
