Zahara’s family will not be able to host a concert as all their effort to secure a venue failed. The concert was expected to take place in East London later in April with a line-up including Zahara’s best friend Vusi Nova, Nathi Mankayi, Mawethu Dikiza, Lusanda Mbane and Khanyisa Nkantsu. Zahara’s sister Bandezwa Mkutukana-Febana said they are unable to get a venue.
“It’s not going to happen now. We can’t get to the community hall and there have been so many challenges. Zahara fought for her house while she was still alive, throughout her career that’s what she managed to hold on to. Also, to us, that was like home, that’s why we wanted to keep it because it’s got so many memories for us with her in it. It’s part of her legacy, we do not really want to lose it.
Bandezwa said Zahara’s brother was occupying the house and they needed “close to R1m” to buy it.
The family want to try out other means to raise funds in other to secure the house. We were not going to eat the money but we were going to take that money and keep Zahara’s legacy by buying back the house, but because we see companies playing with us and giving us a hard time we wanted to do something faster so we can save the house. We won’t stop.
