Enhle Mbali and Black Coffee Finalize Divorce, Ending Long Legal Battle

Actress and fashion entrepreneur Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has announced that her divorce with DJ Black Coffee, whose real name is Nkosinathi Maphumulo, has been finalised — bringing closure to a long and emotionally challenging legal battle.

On Friday, 10 October 2025, Mlotshwa shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, declaring, “Today, with great emotion, I write this. I am officially Miss Mlotshwa.”

She expressed gratitude for the lessons learned during the process, describing it as an “ugly journey” that ultimately led to personal growth. The actress also paid tribute to her legal team, particularly attorney Jerry Nkeli, whom she regards as a father figure, and acknowledged the unwavering support of her mother, Bongi Mlotshwa, her sister, Kutlwano Molete, and close friends who stood by her throughout the ordeal .

The divorce proceedings, which began in 2019, were marked by public allegations of infidelity and emotional distress. Mlotshwa cited the birth of two children by two different women during their marriage as a significant factor in her decision to end the relationship, describing it as a breach of trust and respect.

On Instagram, Jerry Nkeli Attorneys and Associates, who represented Mlotshwa, said that the court ruled in favor of Mlotshwa, granting her the reliefs sought. The customary marriage was declared valid and in community of property, the antenuptial contract was invalidated, and Nkosinathi Maphumulo, popularly known as Black Coffee, was ordered to pay spousal maintenance.

“Antenuptial Contract Invalidated: The court also struck down the antenuptial contract signed in 2017, citing that Mbali was misled and lacked legal advice. 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,” concluded Nkeli.
