South Africa’s internationally renowned DJ Black Coffee, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo says the country has adopted what has been happening and as a country that has a past as terrible as ours we haven’t sat down and said to ourselves who are we.
As a guest at the South African Investment Conference which ends today, DJ Black Coffee says that, “We were told before who we were and it worked for the people who told us to a certain extent, and we are in a space now where I feel like we can restructure somethings.

“We don’t have to dismantle everything because some things are working but we need to be in a space where we ask ourselves how many management degrees do we need from these kids…”
DJ Black Coffee further says that he’s just a DJ, he doesn’t have all the answers. His narrative is about as a country, what are we good at? What do we have to offer to the world, which points to the reasons for investment by global investors?

He says as South Africa, we need to have a ‘family meeting’, to discuss “who are we? Not who we were told we are/were,” says DJ Black Coffee.
Black Coffee has been emphasising to the global community that Africa is not a jungle and there’s a lot it can offer to the world as a Continent.
