Last singer Zahara’s family has confirmed that her reality series, “Zahara: As I Rise,” will continue to air on SABC1.
December last year hit Mzansi hard. The country lost the talented singer and songwriter Zahara. After her death, fans wondered if her reality series would continue to air. A spokesperson for her family told Zimoja that it will continue for a second season so as to tell the late singer’s story.
He said,
“She had intended to film the new season, capturing the lobola celebration and all its aspects. Unfortunately, she fell ill and collapsed on the day of the lobola, altering the course of events. Despite this setback, the SABC has approached the family, and they have consented to proceed with the show.”
“It has not been easy. There has been a lot of speculation and conflicts, which will be cleared. Lacking familiarity with the intricacies of show business, the family is receiving valuable guidance from individuals such as Vusi Nova, one of her closest friends.”
The late singer’s mother also told Zimoja that she doesn’t want her daughter’s story to go untold.
“God is good. We will heal. We don’t want our daughter’s story to go untold. She was our pillar of strength. We are still in talks with the SABC. We are from the rural area thina, we don’t know these things, but people will help guide us so we can go about it the right way,” she said.
