Meanwhile Briefly News reported that Enhle Mbali has been loud and open about the horror she allegedly endured during her marriage. The mother of two recently appeared in court after she accused her estranged husband Black Coffee of abuse.

The matter was reserved by the court and a decision is still pending. Now Enhle is opening up about previous incidents where the DJ allegedly violated her rights.

According to Enhle, Maphumulo abused her twice before the recent incident at her birthday party.

In a statement, Enhle revealed that she endured gaslighting, emotional and verbal abuse, physical abuse and financial abuse.

“The extent of the turmoil experienced in the marriage as a result of the abuse and the extramarital affairs was so severe that I was admitted into a facility and was treated for depression.”

She also accused the DJ of attempting to intimidate her using his financial muscle. Enhle said she hoped that by speaking out, others would draw inspiration and learn from her experience.

“As a mother to boy children, I make it my mission to model positive behaviours and ensure my children are informed about issues such as GBV, the importance of consent, respect for individuals and that they are open minded individuals who communicate and express their feelings in a positive manner.”
