PRETORIA – It is believed that South African powerful singer Zahara was allegedly poisoned during lobola ceremony.
SA celebrity news channel alleged,” The source told the publication that they have reason to believe that a close family member poured muthi in the songstress’ drink.”
“What is surprising is that when Zahara celebrated her 36th birthday on November 9, she was as strong as an ox. She didn’t show of signs of being sick,” said the family member.
The Phendula singer is reported to have fallen ill two days after her fiancé, Mpho Xaba, paid lobolo for her.
“The lobola negotiations went well during the visit by the Xaba delegation. The family representing the Mkutukanas was happy that Zahara would finally get married to someone she loves dearly. But someone interfered with the whole process by bewitching her.
“A relative must have gotten pissed off when they heard that the Xaba family were coming back to pay the outstanding amount of lobola. We suspect that Zahara was either poisoned or muthi was put into her drink,” said the source.
Zahara’s family, as well as her manager, Oyama Dyobisa, have only released one statement so far. This was on 27 November, where they confirmed that the singer was hospitalised and asked for privacy and prayers for her speedy recovery.
“We wanted to take this opportunity as a family to express gratitude for the outpouring of love, support and compassion for our dearest Zahara since the recent media articles about the nature of her health. For your kindness and concern, and because we know you love Zahara, we wanted to give you an update on our daughter’s health.
“Zahara has been admitted to the hospital for a week following complaints about physical pains. The doctors are working diligently and we await further updates from them.”
