'I never cheated' Enhle Mbali on her failed marriage to Black Coffee
The couple had a traditional wedding in 2011, followed by a white wedding in 2017. However, in 2019, Enhle filed for divorce, citing infidelity as the cause of the separation.
The Blood Legacy actress revealed that DJ Black Coffee fathered two children with two different women outside of their marriage.
In a heartfelt interview with Relebogile Mabotja on 702, Enhle shared that she had remained faithful throughout their marriage.
'I'm proud of how I handled my marriage. I never cheated, not once, until the day I decided to leave because I could no longer take the punishment to myself. It's multi-layered. But my non-negotiable was children in a marriage. Once there were two children by two different women, I said, 'you don't love me'. In fact, you're going to kill me,' she said.
'I lost a lot of respect for my partner. I forgave him for the apologies I never got. I forgave myself.'
She further shared that discovering Black Coffee had kids outside their marriage left her feeling shattered and unloved.
'When he had children outside the marriage, I knew he didn't love me. I felt like staying would destroy me, so I ran for the sake of my kids,' she said.
The actress also gave marriage advice, suggesting that people should wait until they are older and more established in life before getting married.
'I have a level of self-awareness that I didn't have when I was 21. I have a level of strength that I didn't have when I was 21. I have a level of self-respect that I didn't have when I was 21.
'Get married when you are older, wiser, smarter, having accumulated your own and come into a space where, yes, you will grow together, but it doesn't feel as if we're following one direction. We're both going in one direction together and we'll reach it together,' she said.

Cape Town International Jazz Festival New Dates, Bold New Vision for Africa's Grandest Music Festival
The crowd feeds off the energy brought by Masego, as the multi-instrumentalist moved around the Kippies stage at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival in March 2025. Image: Armand Hough / Independent Newspapers The highly anticipated Cape Town International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) returns to the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) on March 27 and 28, 2026 — but this time, the festival marks more than just a return. It signals the start of an exciting new chapter in the life of Africa's most celebrated music event. Under the leadership of festival head, Shaakirah Adams, the festival is undergoing a powerful transformation — evolving into a year-long platform that celebrates music, fosters talent, and drives lasting social and economic impact. Black Coffee and Nduduzo Makhathini closed their 2025 show strongly, elevating the spirit of CTIJF to new heights. Image: Armand Hough / Independent Newspapers Next Stay Close ✕ 'The Cape Town International Jazz Festival must now become a movement — one that not only showcases great music but supports the people and communities behind it. It must be inclusive, African, developmental, and deeply impactful,' said Adams. This new direction sees the CTIJF becoming a platform that extends far beyond its flagship weekend to embrace 12 months of programming, community engagement, and educational outreach. The March 2026 event will now serve as the culmination of a full music festival season, rather than the starting point. The enigmatic Lira in action at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival 2025. Image: Ayanda Ndamane / Independent Newspapers Throughout the year, the CTIJF will present a host of initiatives, including: The Youth Jazz Series (final name to be confirmed), giving young artists opportunities to perform and develop professionally. Masterclasses and workshops by local and international music legends. Support for local musicians, with increased performance opportunities and exposure. A digital marketplace designed to help African musicians and agents connect with global festivals, promoters, and industry networks. Strategic partnerships with universities and music schools to create educational pipelines into the industry. Collaborations with sister festivals around the world, creating exchange opportunities and joint programming.

A newly appointed Advisory Panel made up of renowned musicians, producers, cultural experts, and academics from both South Africa and abroad to help steer this transformation is also in the pipeline, ensuring that the CTIJF remains artistically bold, socially relevant, and truly African in spirit. This evolution builds on the long-standing philanthropic work of festival patron, Dr Iqbal Survé and the Survé Family foundations, who for over two decades have supported music education and youth development through initiatives like Edujazz, the Sekunjalo Music Awards, the Sekunjalo Music Academy, and bursaries for emerging musicians.

'The festival is not just about celebration — it's about creating jobs, inspiring youth, building the local music industry, and connecting Africa to the world.' The refreshed Cape Town International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) promises to be more dynamic, more inclusive, and a powerful reflection of South Africa's rich musical tapestry — while also celebrating the African continent's growing influence on the global stage. Dr. Iqbal Survé's 17 Year Ownership and R100 million Commitment to CTIJF . The first CTIJF was held in 2005 and is recognized as the fourth-largest jazz festival in the world and the largest jazz festival on the African continent.
