Enhle Mbali and DJ Black Coffee earlier in the relationship. While his beats usually do the talking,DJ Black Coffeeis finally picking up the mic to address the legal storm that’s been brewing off-stage for years. The timing isn’t accidental.
On Wednesday, January 21, the Constitutional Court handed down a landmark judgment clarifying how prenuptial agreements apply to customary marriages. The court confirmed that these marriages can be governed by antenuptial contracts, provided they are properly registered. While the ruling was meant to provide clarity for thousands of South Africans, it inadvertently reignitedBlack Coffee’s own divorce saga, which has been simmering since their 2011 traditional Zulu union and subsequent 2017 civil wedding.
“I’m probably going to get in trouble with my legal team for this comment, but as you said, this is not just about me anymore, and keeping quiet about this hasn’t helped me in any way,” he posted in response to a follower. The DJ argued that the “customary marriage” everyone is talking about simply didn’t exist. “Details of our case at this point are out there.

The case you mentioned is different from our case because there was no customary marriage; however, here are a few important points to note and some of the reasons for my appeal. Intention (we both never intended to enter into a customary marriage). Prenup: We signed this as our first step to the agreed civil marriage (even our prenup states that we were unmarried). “I obviously will not divulge more than this, but I hope this carries enough weight to keep the conversation going for all🙏🏿,” said the iconic DJ.
