Singer Bulelwa Mkutukana known to the music world as Zahara spent at least 3 hours on Radio 2000 with David Mashabela on his show, The Royal Playground.
Zahara who like any human being, she is currently in a financial situation where she said said that she would be losing her house after Nedbank served her with a notice of auction her house on the 8th of July. The show started on a good mood with David Mashabela asking her about music life and all. She was in studio to enjoy a musical challenge with Mashabela of selecting songs that would go against each others choice of songs.
It all started when she was talking about her departure from her former record label TS Records which belongs to Dj Sbu and Thembinkosi Nciza. Zahara said that since she started her battles with TS Records, she saw a decline in her music being played on radio stations across the country as well as television music channels. She even said her bookings also declined in fact she was no longer being booked.
David Mashabela then asked her if there was no shame from her by asking for help from the public? Zahara responded by saying “she said the only shame felt was that she worked hard and the only shame she had, was for her parents and not for herself”. It was at this very moment that she couldn’t hold back her tears and she started crying, which prompted David Mashabela to go to an ad break in order to give her time to gather herself.
Credit to her as she managed to proceed with the interview, she even became joyful and started dancing in studio when David played a Brenda Fassie song called “Ag Shame Lovey” which saw Zahara standing up and singing loudly as was seen on the stations YouTube live where it was being streamed to the listener’s. The show ended with Zahara giving out her FNB account number as asked her fans for donations for any amount they can afford to help with.
