One of Mzansi’s most celebrated DJs, Grammy award-winning DJ Nkosinathi “Black Coffee” Maphumulo recently opened up to Steven Bartlett on The Diary Of A CEO about his childhood, family, his marriage, friendships, and the dreadful accident that changed his life.

He shared how he lived with his grandmother and learned discipline.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I hardly had a childhood. I was always working. That was my environment. I knew whatever you need, you have to work. If there was a problem with the cows, I knew what was wrong,” he says.

His father lived in Durban and had remarried, while he was raised by his mom in the Eastern Cape.

“He was a nice guy, but he wasn’t present. On holidays, we would go see him, but he had nothing to say,” he says.

“My grandmother was a man and a woman [at home] and I used to hate it growing up. I wanted to be a child and play with other kids. I grew up with that kind of life and I hated it. But it taught me so much about having a work ethic,” he adds.

His childhood influenced the person he is today.

“I was never a social guy. I always kept to myself. As a kid, I always had to do all the work alone. I was a loner growing up and I kind of got comfortable with trusting my thoughts and my decisions and being confident in myself without needing people. That has affected a lot of personal relationships with people,” he says.

“It’s something I want to start working on, I am quick to create a comfortable space. But I am much quicker to move as well. It’s something I feel that it’s not real but it’s doable because I am always on the move.”

Black Coffee says he never learned how to express his emotions from a young age.

“My grandmother was quite tough, there was no one. I look at how I am with my kids, you can see when you have pushed a little bit hard and you’re able to bring them back and explain” he says.

“The older generation will whip you and you get over it. As a child, you have unconditional love for your parent. But I didn’t have a good role model in anything. I used to avoid doing interviews because there was just societal pressure that If I’m good at making music, am I good at public speaking? If I play songs nicely, am I a role model to your children? But I’m just a DJ, who is living his life. In the beginning, all I wanted to do was play music.”

He says music was always his escape. “Music helped me to dream of these moments. If I listen to Michael Jackson, I will dream of where he lives and maybe one day I will go there. It took me to all these places and became my friend,” he adds.

“Music brought me peace. It’s my way of healing people, the same way it healed me.”

10 February 1990 was one of the hardest days in Black Coffee’s life and he says he struggled to open up about it.

“But I’m in a better space now, I am able to talk about it. So, strict grandmother, we are at home, around eight at night. She was strict and no one could come out of the house, we were sitting in the house, I think after dinner. We heard people singing outside and we all come out. We see a group of people passing out the house, and we run to the crowd, we were not allowed to but it was nice, and it wasn’t a big thing even for her,” he says.

“My cousins went back in the house, I didn’t. Why? Music. So, I followed the crowd. The reason this was happening was because on the 11th of February Nelson Mandela was officially coming out after 27 years [in jail] and there were jubilations around the entire country.”

The crowd was going to a stadium close to his house.

“That is where the camping and singing until the morning was going to happen. They were gathering crowds and we were now close to the stadium. Just out of nowhere we just heard this sound, and it was a car, that came out of nowhere, with lights off, and just ran to the crowd. I was not in the front but maybe 20 percent in. I just blacked out and people were screaming. When I woke up, there was fire, and people were angry,” she says.

Popular sportscaster Robert Marawa is rumoured to be set for a return to the SABC after leaving the public broadcaster last year.

He left his popular Marawa Sports Worldwide shows on Metro FM and Radio 2000 last year after the SABC did not renew his contract.

 

 

 

Celebgossip has learnt that the sports presenter wil be unveiled as the new host of SABC prime time sports show .

Two sources close to the star said he was roped in to return by popular demand ahead of the Fifa World Cup in Qatar, which starts in November.

“He will be unveiled by the SABC . He has been poached back to the SABC after Thomas Mlambo left the station and the prime time sports slot was not replaced by anyone,” a source said.

Another source added:

He has been approached to return because he is a fan favourite and will be needed, after the SABC announced last week that it would broadcast the World Cup.

The SABC would not be drawn into commenting about the presenter’s return.

Mawara hinted on his social media pages on Saturday morning that he would make a huge announcement this week.

“Something is coming this week. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Look out for part two next week. #GqimmShelele!” he posted on Twitter, along with a video of himself seated at an empty FNB Stadium.

When contacted for comment, Marawa said: “No, I have no coming plans with the SABC. I am sure they have amazing plans [for the World Cup], but they do not include me.”

Reality Musa Mseleku, who is famous for his television career as well as his well-known polygamous family, has recently been the subject of numerous news stories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mzansi does not have a warm and fuzzy feeling toward the man for some reason, and the country has spent a lot of time in recent years rejoicing over his failures. Recently, he has been in the news due to rumors that he has taken in a fifth wife. As a result, the people of Mzansi are curious about how much money he spends on groceries for his household, which includes his many wives and children.

Amount of money socialite Musa Mseleku spends on grocery revealed

In a video that was uploaded to TikTok, the question of how much money Uthando Nesthembu spends each month on groceries for his large family was posed to him during an interview that he was participating in. The internet had been rife with rumors of him marrying a fifth wife, but it was later determined that the event in question was actually the wedding of Thobile. This led to the discrediting of the rumors.

Musa Mseleku provides a detailed breakdown of the amount that he spends on groceries.
In his response, Musa Mseleku stated that his family spends at least R30,000 per month just on groceries, and he went on to explain how he provides financial support for his wives. Musa asserts that he fosters a culture of equality in his home, in which each member of the family is responsible for contributing financially to the upkeep of the household. Musa discusses the fact that he does not provide the same amount of money to each of his wives for the purchase of their groceries, and he explains how he arrives at the various amounts.

He continues by stating that since every wife has a unique number of children, it would be unreasonable to treat them all the same in this regard. This is due to the fact that a person who has a larger number of children will require a greater quantity of bread than a person who does not have any children. Additionally, because his wives prefer different brands, he does not buy in bulk for everyone. Instead, he gives them each what they want to avoid any potential disagreements.

The audience responded in a variety of ways to his video. It appears that the general public and many individuals are of the opinion that only wealthy men can afford to have peaceful polygamous marriages. Others can’t help but wonder how much of Musa’s income goes toward paying for things like electricity, water, school fees, and the myriad of other expenses that come with maintaining a household with children. In addition, many of his followers have praised him for the way he manages his family and the fact that neither of his wives ever has any issues or issues to complain about.

Tweeps have recently attacked Musa on the basis of their assertion that he loves MaKhumalo more than any of his other wives and that he favors her in his behavior. He posts pictures with her more often than he does with any of his three older wives, and he is seen in public with her more frequently than with any of the others. Musa, on the other hand, has demonstrated through this interview that he treats each one of them with fairness and respect.

R120.000 is nothing to Lehasa, and Khwezi would be deserving of it if she wasn’t such a bad person. Both Khwezi and Lehasa are in an extreme state of desperation regarding their respective relationships. Following the delivery of her child, Lehasa does not have a strategy in place for dealing with khwezi. Because Lehasa and Kwesi deserve to be with each other, Pretty has to prioritize both her own happiness and her career.

The love triangle situation involving Pretty, Lehasa, and Khwezi demonstrates that baby mamas will always emerge victorious in the end. Pretty is completely unaware that there was a change in the agenda and that Khwezi will soon be married to Maphosa and returning with her new husband.

Just like that, Pretty is going to end up disappointing her mother. Pretty had one final opportunity to make things right with her family, but instead she chose Lehasa over them, and Lehasa went with Khwezi. Pretty’s family was disappointed in her decision.

Polygamist and reality TV star and Musa Mseleku has opened up about how much he spends on his wives’ individual households.

The Uthando Nes’thembu star was a guest on Old Mutual’s Head of Financial Education with host John Manyike when he spoke about his finances and how he provides for his four wives.
 

 

 

 

He revealed he spends around R30,000 on groceries.

“Look at it like this. The basics like oil and things like that come to around R4,500. Then you add cleaning materials and you get up to R6,000,” he said.

“I may be underestimating per household. Then you multiply for each household, which gets you to the R30 000 range. If they don’t save the money they make, they will have a crisis,” he continued.

Musa said while he is the breadwinner in his family, his wives and some of his children chip in financially where necessary.
