Black Coffee and Zakes Bantwini before the fame

Zakhele Madida, better known as Zakes Bantwini, and Sizwe Maphumulo, better known as Black Coffee, were longtime musical partners and best friends until recently. Zakes’s refusal to attend Black Coffee’s 44th birthday celebration was problematic once he began making up lame excuses. Zakes avoided answering questions concerning the specifics of their differences.


They’ve accomplished a lot as a team. They pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and did it with their pals. Their devoted following is now motivated to learn that nobody has a naturally advantageous start in life. You can have anything you desire in life so long as you work for it. Since Black Coffee’s other hand is paralyzed as a result of an accident, the two were no longer friends by the time Zakes published the song “Clap Your Hands.”

SA House Music Downloads, a Facebook page, just posted an old photo of Black Coffee and Zakes Bantwini. Someone else who has yet to be located was with them. Things were obviously not going well for the two based on their surroundings. While Black Coffee and the other Zakes slept on the floor. They used to get along well, but now they don’t speak to each other.
