Black Coffee Breaks Silence on Landmark Constitutional Court Ruling
Black Coffee Breaks Silence on Landmark Constitutional Court Ruling. DJ Black Coffee has broken his silence on the Constitutional Court’s landmark ruling and what it means for his divorce judgement appeal…
Black Coffee – real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo – has broken his silence on the Constitutional Court’s ruling on customary marriages and antenuptial contracts.
The Grammy Award-winning DJ is appealing the divorce judgement he received from his ex-wife, Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa, issued by the Gauteng High Court last year.
In the ruling, the hitmaker’s antenuptial contract with the actress was declared invalid. The court ruled that the couple was married under customary law, which, by default, is set to a community of property contract.
BLACK COFFEE BREAKS SILENCE ON CONCOURT RULING
This week, the Constitutional Court issued a landmark ruling declaring that antenuptial contracts entered into after customary marriages are invalid.
The court ruled that antenuptial contracts signed after customary marriages are treated as postnuptial contracts and require the High Court’s approval to take effect.
It emphasised that customary or traditional marriages are treated as civil marriages and, by default, are set to community of property contracts.
Legal experts have since advised South Africans to sign antenuptial contracts before the cultural practice of lobola – regarded as the onset of a customary marriage – takes place.
Reacting to the news was podcaster Penuel Mlotshwa, who argued his opinion that lobola did not constitute marriage, but merely a proposal and the intention to marry. Referencing Black Coffee, he suggested the DJ take his case to the Constitutional Court, proposing that prenups be recognised after customary marriages take place.
To his surprise, Black Coffee commented on the video, agreeing with the outspoken media personality’s stance.
