TK Nciza paid tribute at the funeral service for the late singer Zahara, real name Bulelwa Mkutukana.
The funeral took place at the East London International Convention Centre on Saturday.
Zahara died on the 11th of December due to liver complications.
She was formerly signed to TS Records which was owned by TK and DJ Sbu.
Nciza spoke at the funeral despite being trolled for the alleged ill treatment exuded to the late star.
TK Nciza recounted how he met Zahara and the meetings with her parents.
“She was very proud of her background and where she came from. And what it means is that you must take pride in where you come from as a person. She always said she comes from Phumlani, because she must inspire many people who are coming from that area and I think she has done that,” he said.
“She was not just a musician to me, and I know that people always believe that it was always a transactional issue. She was my younger sister, she was my kid, we loved each other till the last day.”
The family of South African singer Bulelwa Mkutukana, also known as Zahara, has started an inquiry to find out more about her death. Zahara’s brother, Junior Mkutukana, took this step after she spent several days in the hospital and passed away.
According to a report from Sunday World, Constable Modupe recorded the inquiry, and Warrant Officer Netshiunda reviewed it.
On December 11, 2023, at around noon, Zahara’s brother, Mr. Mkutukana, mentioned in the inquiry that he was in Roodepoort when Zahara complained of stomach pains. She was then taken to Olievedale Netcare Hospital, where she was later declared dead. The family suspects that Zahara might have been poisoned by people who didn’t wish her well.
Zahara’s death was confirmed on December 11 at a private hospital, although the exact cause remains unknown. While BBC suggests liver complications, Arts and Culture Minister Zizi Kodwa expressed his condolences on Twitter, mentioning Zahara’s significant impact on South African music.
This news follows reports of Zahara being admitted to the hospital due to physical pains. The family’s inquiry aims to uncover more details about the circumstances leading to her passing.
