Following over six years of legal turmoil, the couple's customary marriage and antenuptial contract dispute will once again be scrutinised in court after Black Coffee obtained leave to appeal the matter.

The Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg, said in light of the question of law of importance and general application, including the conflicting judgments on the subject matter, the SCA must now resolve the issues.

Black Coffee is set on appealing part of the ruling issued in October last year, in which it was found that he and his wife had entered into a valid customary marriage in May 2011.

It was found at the time that the marriage was in community of property and that their civil marriage concluded in January 2017 was legally void.
