Bulelwa Mkutukana, widely known as Zahara, the multi-award-winning musician, has sadly passed away at a private hospital in Johannesburg. The Loliwe hitmaker, who had been admitted two weeks prior with liver complications, breathed her last just before 9 pm on Monday night. Zahara's fiancé, Mpho Xaba, was reportedly by her bedside during her final moments.
The family is expected to release an official statement soon, as confirmed by a source close to the musician. Zahara's cousin, Oyama Dyosiba, struggled to locate Xaba on the night of her passing, adding to the somber circumstances surrounding her death.
Last week, the family had confirmed Zahara's hospitalization, expressing gratitude for the support and compassion received from well-wishers. They had emphasized the importance of reliable information, urging the public to rely on official social media platforms for updates.
Zahara's health took a turn for the worse over the past week, prompting a transfer from a medical ward to the ICU section of the private hospital. The singer, hailing from East London, had released five successful studio albums, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry.
As the news of Zahara's passing reverberates through the entertainment world, fans and fellow artists mourn the loss of a talent that spanned hit albums from the double platinum debut "Loliwe" in 2011 to "Nqaba Yam" in 2021, which peaked at number 1 on iTunes. Zahara's legacy as a celebrated artist and her impact on the music scene will be remembered by many.
