Due to the economic issues of the country, many people are undergoing some financial stress. And things became worse when the pandemic hit the country and many people started having financial struggles, and also with the inflation, it has been hard for citizens of the country to keep up with their daily needs, and celebrities are not an exception. Because of COVID, most of them have recently been able to travel and perform at different venues.

They were unable to travel like they normally did and perform in order to make a living. Because of this, celebrities like Zahara hit rock bottom. In the last few months, it was reported that Zahara would be homeless because for the last six months she has been unable to pay off her house bond, which is situated in Roodepoort. Zahara confirmed that she does have money problems, which she attributes to the pandemic and certain record labels for which she worked.

Zahara asked the public to assist with aging money so that she could pay off her house because she was at a huge risk of losing it to the highest bidder. Many people felt sorry for her, especially because she is one of the biggest artists in South Africa and has also had one of the biggest hits in South Africa that many even still sing to this day. Many could not understand why she was struggling financially.
