'I never cheated' Enhle Mbali on her failed marriage to Black Coffee
TV star and fashion designer Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has spoken out about her marriage to internationally renowned DJ Black Coffee, which ended in divorce. 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. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

Actress from Evander shares her drama talents
Actress Dineo Rasedile (33) has landed her role in the final season two of Mzansi Magic's My Brother's Keeper. Rasedile auditioned at the beginning of December for the role of Tshidi, the main character Ndumiso's (played by Nkanyiso Mchunu) new love interest. Shooting began on December 4, and the season is on Mzansi Magic DStv channel 161. 'The audience did not trust this girl. They are protective of Ndumiso's character,' Rasedile said. Shady, wanting to take Ndumiso's money, or being sent by his ex, were many of the audiences' thoughts when Tshidi's character entered the show. Putting the audience's minds at ease, Rasedile said: 'It is a genuine love story where both are at a point to settle down and head over heels. Shady is Ndumiso's voice of reason,' Dineo said. Being the newbie in the final season of a well-established cast, who built a relationship over the years, had its challenges. However, Dineo said the cast was amazing and welcoming. 'It was hard, but fun. There were intense shooting periods and learning curves for me,' Dineo said as she described her character as athletic.
