HOW HE INJURED HIS ARM 

The internationally acclaimed DJ Black Coffee shared with the podcaster that a taxi veered off the road, bumped into him and a few other people at an event a few years ago and he was rushed to the hospital.   

According to ZAlebs, doctors at the hospital examined his arm and concluded that it was just a minor fracture and sent him home but the pain was too much and his grandmother sent him to a hospital in Durban where he consulted with a specialist.  

After examination, the doctor revealed that the nerves on his shoulder were damaged and that there was no life and his arm and they even considered amputating it.

Fortunately, the doctor told him that his hand was not completely damaged and ruled out amputation and he was told that it would take time for his hand to regain strength.

THE DJ’S SOFT LIFE  

The musician also stunned Twitter users when he revealed in his interview with the British entrepreneur and podcaster Stephen Bartlett on Monday, 3 October interview that he stayed with his mother, Faith Dandala, after his separation from former Isibaya actress Enhle Mbali in 2019.   

“I’m like, ‘Is this my life? I live with my mother, so I can’t bring my friends here. I can’t have a little party because my mom is in the other room.’ And it bothered me so much.”

“I remember having a conversation with my friend, and I’m like, I love it, but this can’t be it. I’m about to finalise my divorce, and I live with my mother.”  

“And the most incredible thing happened. I get a phone call, and it’s a number I don’t know. And the guy is like.”

“‘Hi, I’m Michael, I’m your neighbour.’ We had a long conversation, and he then said: ‘By the way, I’m selling my house because we are going away. I’m moving to another country.’”  

According to iHarare, Coffee bought the neighbours house so his mom and children can now stay in that new house, where he can be “Nathi”, playing with them.  

“The original house is now, ‘the Black Coffee House’, where he can host parties and friends and he plans to make the house part of his legacy so that in the future, people can visit and say that’s where he stayed.”
