One of Mzansi’s favourite Afro-pop singers, Zahara, has announced that she has been forced to cancel her country-wide tour because of sickness.
The 34-year-old was supposed to be touring the country to celebrate 11 years since the release of her debut album Loliwe.
“I’d like to apologise to my fans and promoters to share that I am unable to carry through my performances this weekend. My health has taken a toll on me and I have been advised to be on bed rest,” wrote Zahara on her Facebook page.
She also shared the posters of cancelled gigs – and one picture of her seeing a doctor on Saturday, 4 June.
“I look forward to getting out there as soon as I am physically fit,” added Zahara.
The star is on a streak of bad luck.
It all started when she lost six South African Music Award (SAMA) trophies to a reported burglary during this year’s Easter holidays.
Soon after, she confirmed the news which had already been circulating on social media. According to local reports, Nedbank allegedly threatened to auction her Vosloorus home if she failed to pay over R17,000 monthly payments by the end of April, but the due date was extended to allow the musician to get her affairs in order.
Meanwhile Zahara, whose real name is Bulelwa Mtukana, last released a project in September 2021, a music video for her last solo single titled “Izolo”.
