"Her lasting legacy is her great voice, amazing music, incredible personality and extremely talented young sister. She had a long life ahead of her, I really thought Zahara would be as old as the late great Mama Miriam Makeba. I thought she would be on stages up until that age because her music is timeless."

Briefly News spoke to media personality and Zahara's friend Afiba who shared his thoughts on the tributes that have been pouring in from friends and industry colleagues since Bulelwa's death. He said:

"The people who claim to have cared so much about Zahara and made tributes but did not defend her when the world was against her will have God to judge them.

"I wish the TV stations could also stop granting platforms to people who destroyed our sister to continue telling lies about her, they have done enough damage already, and they must let Bulelwa rest."
