Ultimately, there is a slight sense of disconnect in Black Coffee’s Grammy win; this is a graphic example of winning the world and losing the home.
Despite controversy at home and a decade late, the Grammy win proves how much the world love’s South Africa’s biggest house music star.
Black Coffee's Grammy's win may have strengthened his value overseas - it's hard to call him the flavour of the season in South Africa.
'There is nothing wrong with the minister being seen when there is a celebration or when an artist has passed on,' said Mthethwa.
“We have what we call seasons programmes that take South African artists all over the world. The fact that people don't acknowledge that when it happens doesn't mean the minister of arts and culture only goes to celebrations and funerals,” the minister said.
