The news outlet contacted Zahara, who defended herself, claiming that the airport staff treated her disrespectfully by repeatedly delaying her from checking in her luggage.

"Then they told me that the small hand luggage I had on me would cost me R600. For small hand luggage? I again said that was fine and I’d pay for it, which was when they told me the flight had left without me."

The Loliwe singer claimed that the flight had not yet taken off because she could see other passengers on standby being let in while she was being held back.

However, Zahara's sister Bandezwa defended her, saying she was only rude because it was not the first time she had received such ill-treatment at the airport.

Bandezwa said that the drama made Zahara lose money because the airport staff refused to book her on another flight, forcing her to make other transport arrangements.

"The last time she delayed a plane, she made it up to us by singing. She should've been allowed to board bandla. The people would've been serenaded."
