SASOLBURG โย Born and bred in Sasolburg, Zamdela, the popular coffee artist is said to be battling a life challenging illness.
Mlangeni came into fame after making a portrait of DJ Black Coffee using Ricoffy granules.
He later got into the spotlight more when he was commissioned by Cassper Nyovest to turn his pool into artwork.
He also became a social media sensation after South Africans got a glimpse of his unique art on Twitter as he painted home appliances such as fridges.
Since then, Mlangeni was seen placing art in many celebrityโs home walls, pools, fridges and more valuables.
In his Twitter post, Mlangeni asked for privacy during his recovering process.
