Black Coffee wins R7m judgment against Maserati SA as sheriff gets writ
A writ of execution allows a sheriff to attach movable assets belonging to Maserati SA after the Johannesburg High Court ordered the company to repay R7 million to Black Coffee’s company, Soulistic Music.
Black Coffee, the Grammy Award-winning DJ, found himself embroiled in a legal dispute with Maserati SA over a customised Maserati MC20 Cielo. The South African entrepreneur initially owned an M20 Coupé, which was valued at R7 million as part of a deal to upgrade to the more expensive Cielo. However, the delivery of the luxury vehicle turned sour when Soulistic Music, Black Coffee's company, claimed that Maserati SA failed to deliver the Cielo within the agreed period.
The dispute escalated to the Johannesburg High Court, where Acting Judge Sanet van Aswegen ruled in favor of Soulistic, granting Maserati SA an order to pay R7 million, along with interest and legal costs. A writ of execution was issued on August 17, 2026, authorising the sheriff to attach assets belonging to Maserati SA if the judgment remains unpaid.
There has been no confirmation yet that any of Maserati SA's vehicles or other assets have been attached.
