Black Coffee no longer Miss SA judge

On Thursday the house music DJ stepped down as a judge of the local beauty pageant after he discovered he was related by marriage to one of the contestants, Channel24 reported.

One of the top 33 semifinalist Tidimalo Sehlako, is Black Coffee’s wife half-sister.

“I hold the Miss South Africa brand in high repute and am hugely impressed by the calibre of entrants in this year’s competition. However, I feel that the fair way forward from this most unfortunate and unintended circumstance is to resign as a judge,” he said.

Sehlako will remain part of the competition, Sun International told the website.
