The saga surrounding the late singer Zahara, born Bulelwa Mkutukana , continues to unfold nearly four months after her burial. Zahara, a multi-award-winning and multi-platinum-selling musician, passed away last December after a prolonged battle in the ICU, leaving behind a legacy that is now embroiled in drama and controversy.<\/p>\n
According to ZiMoja, Zahara\u2019s sisters, Bandezwa Mkutukana-Febana and Lumka Mkutukana, made headlines by announcing plans to host a music concert at the Orient Theatre in East London later this month. According to a source the \u00a0concert\u2019s aim is to \u00a0save Zahara\u2019s former house in Little Falls, Roodepoort, which faced auction before her passing.<\/p>\n
According to ZiMoja, however , the concert\u2019s organisation has stirred up discord within the family. Sources close to the situation reveal that Bandezwa is spearheading the effort solo, allegedly without consulting other family members. Accusations of financial motives and greed swirl as questions arise about the true intentions behind the fundraising event.<\/p>\n
Adding to the turmoil, Zahara\u2019s band members alleged they\u2019ve been sidelined and excluded from the concert preparations. This exclusion stirs emotions among those who worked closely with Zahara throughout her career, leaving them feeling overlooked and undervalued.<\/p>\n
ZiMoja has uncovered further complexities within the family dynamics. Allegations of firings and estrangement from Zahara\u2019s manager and cousin, Oyama Dyosiba, paint a picture of internal divisions and fractured relationships.<\/p>\n
As controversy mounts, Bandezwa defends the family\u2019s intentions, emphasising the sentimental value of the house to Zahara\u2019s memory. Yet, conflicting narratives and unanswered questions persist, casting a shadow over the concert and the legacy it seeks to honour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
