DJ Black Coffee, whose real name is Nkosinathi Maphumulo, became popular on social media after the news broke. Some people speculated that the Constitutional Court’s decision would affect his Supreme Court of Appeal application and support the High Court’s decision that his ex-wife, Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa, was entitled to half of the estate and continued maintenance payments.

Black Coffee broke his quiet after social commentator and podcaster Penuel Mlotshwa posted a video on Instagram expressing his opinions on the Constitutional Court’s decision.
DJ Black Coffee stated in a statement on Thursday, January 22, 2026, that the ConCourt decision concerned a different issue rather than his appeal. He outlined the two primary grounds for his appeal of the High Court’s decision that declared his 2017 and 2019 antenuptial agreements void and upheld his 2011 traditional Zulu wedding as a civil marriage.
