For years now, South Africans have sang praises for local actress and singer Thembi Seete and her refusal to grow old. And now photos of her which are unedited have burst the bubble many put her in.

While many have shared that she is still as gorgeous as ever, they are now saying that she looks her age — and not many years younger as they previously believed.

 

 

 

SA REACTS TO THEMBI SEPTA’S ‘REAL FACE’
South African artist Thembi Seete has always been known for her good looks and banging body.

The former Boom Shaka member has many a times been accused of drinking from a secret fountain of youth due to how great she looks in all of the photos she shares on her Instagram page.

For many, she doesn’t look as picture perfect in real life as she does in the endless polished pics online.

Fallen Afropop sensation Bulelwa “Zahara” Mkutukana’s life will be celebrated during a memorial service on Thursday, 14 December.

ZAHARA’S MEMORIAL SERVICE

 

Her memorial service is set to start on at 11:00 and end at 14:00 at the Rhema Bible Church in Randburg, Johannesburg.

Thereafter, Zahara’s family will transport her back home to the Eastern Cape where her funeral service and burial will take place at the weekend.

The 36-year-old Loliwe hitmaker died on Monday, 11 December, after allegedly battling liver complications. She was surrounded by her loved ones when she passed away at a Johannesburg private hospital.

She leaves behind her two sisters, brother, mother and her fiancé, Mpho Xaba.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Mkutukana family described the Phendula hitmaker as a pure light and a blessing to the world.

Zahara’s age was revealed after fans realised she celebrated her birthday in November.

South Africa woke up to the sad news of Zahara’s death, and there had been a lot of talk.

After the news of her death, many fans have since trolled DJ Sbu, saying he played a part in Zahara’s death.

 

Despite his silence about the accusations, Nota had defended DJ Sbu with everything he had.

He even vowed to defend DJ Sbu, claiming he would do so even if Sbu did not ask for it.

“We love DJ Sbu… I will defend his honour; he doesn’t need to ask!”

Despite all this talk, many fans mourned Zahara, saying that she lost her life at a young age.

Indeed, many fans only knew that she was not that old, but they did not know her actual.

To make things worse, she had just celebrated her birthday in November 2023.

Sharing on her Instagram, Zahara revealed her age, wishing herself a happy birthday.

“Today I celebrate 36 years of God’s grace, mercy, and kindness 🖤🤍🤎 .” she said.
