South African actress Enhle Mbali opened up about being a newly healed woman after the court denied her protection against her estranged husband Black Coffee in May 2021.

Enhle Mbali applied for a protection order against her estranged husband Black Coffee in March 2021. This was after she accused the DJ of abusing her at her birthday party but her protection order was denied by the Randburg Magistrates Court in May 2021. At the time an emotional Enhle said she would be bringing “receipts” on her estranged husband but she instead made a documentary titled The Voice.

 

“So the reason I made that documentary is that women are a lot of the time failed by the justice system. I am a believer that a man is meant to protect a woman but our country is in disarray because men have forgotten what the role of a man is and continue to not only harm the women but to harm women and children, who are not the weakest but need protection in society,” said Enhle to The South African. “I’m a feminist and sometimes I’m just real about this fantasy of what the role is between a man and a woman.

 

The reason I did that documentary is I was emotional on the stairs of Randburg when I came back from court,” she continued. Enhle referred to the video she made but explained that she made a conscious decision to heal instead of breaking someone else down. The Voice is about Enhle being a newly healed woman and what her journey of healing was like. “The court system really failed me and when I came out I was so emotional and in pain and also in fear because I just didn’t know what would happen.

 

I did a video and I had said I’m going to do a press conference but after sitting down and sinking in my emotions I thought there is no need for me to break anyone down. I made a conscious decision not to break anyone but to heal,” she added.
