South African actress and fashion designer Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has officially finalized her divorce from world-renowned DJ and producer Black Coffee (real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo), marking the end of one of Mzansi’s most talked-about celebrity breakups.
The Johannesburg High Court ruled that the couple’s customary marriage is valid and in community of property, meaning Enhle Mbali is legally entitled to half of the couple’s marital assets. In addition, the court granted her spousal maintenance, closing a long and public legal chapter between the two stars.
A Victory After a Lengthy Legal Battle
The ruling comes after years of legal disputes and public revelations surrounding the couple’s marriage. The court’s decision reinforces the recognition of customary marriages under South African law, especially in cases involving high-profile individuals and significant shared estates.
According to reports, Enhle expressed relief following the verdict, describing it as a moment of closure and empowerment.
Public Reaction
Fans and celebrities have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the outcome. Many praised Enhle for her strength and resilience throughout the legal process, while others reflected on the complexities of high-profile relationships in the entertainment industry.
