The End Of A Fairytale

They were one of Mzansi’s hottest celeb couples – but after nine years together DJ Black Coffee and Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa have called it quits
The End Of A Fairytale

THEY seemed to have it all – a happy marriage, beautiful boys and glittering careers. Nkosinathi Maphumulo, better known as DJ Black Coffee, and actress Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa were nothing if not an It couple. Doting parents and perfect partners, they dripped #couplegoals.

It seemed nothing could shake Black Coffee (43) and Enhle (31) – not even the rumours of infidelity that had long dogged them. Yes, they had their ups and downs, but they stood together in dignified silence.

Then Enhle dropped an explosive video on Instagram. She’d woken up to a tabloid story of her pending separation and posted a response in which she confirmed the news and admitted to having had a “very, very, very rough year”.

Enhle has asked for privacy while she picks up the pieces of her life, and Black Coffee has refused to comment. However, a friend close to the couple says Enhle “has had enough of the infidelity”.

“It ruined her self-esteem and her confidence for many years, and she cannot do it anymore.” The friend, who spoke on condition of anonymity, says Enhle was hospitalised this year after having an anxiety attack from “the stress”.

“I can’t tell you more, but I will tell you this: she is ready to fight for her children.”

We take a look at Enhle and Black Coffee’s path, once paved with love, but now riddled with potholes of pain.
