- By Ngwako Malatji

Bewitching television thespian Mbali Mlotshwa pleaded with her protesting uncles on the day DJ Black Coffee paid lobola for her to allow him to marry her because he was a millionaire and she was smitten with him.

The explosive tidbits are contained in the lengthy court judgment delivered acting judge of the Johannesburg High Court, Mongezi Ntanga.

Mlotshwa also wanted the court to issue an order forcing Black Coffee to pay R500000 a month towards the maintenance of her and their children.

She also said that she sacrificed her blossoming acting career because Black Coffee wanted her to stay at home to massage his injured hand, and also because he did not want her to kiss male actors on set.

Mlotshwa dragged Black Coffee to court for a decree of divorce and equal division of their lucrative estate, estimated to be in the north of R100-million.

She argued that they were married in community of property, while Black Coffee disputed the status of their union.
