DJ Sbu reflects on Zahara's career and death: "It was sad to hear she lost her life at a young age"

"I'm definitely all for support as life goes on and will also be there to share whatever information that's needed on my side. I will also need to consult my ex-business partner, Mr Nciza as well as her [Zahara] current record company. Her works are there, we did it together.
Those are the discussions that need to happen considering that I also have children. I want to make sure that when I'm gone, my children can continue benefiting from some of the work that I've done.
"Everything that I've ever done, I gave it all away. I have to be very careful in how I make decisions, especially in times like these because you've got emotions and you care about someone even if you have a contractual agreement, Ubuntu is still there. But there definitely is a possibility."

This is what netizens had to say:

NgoveniSbu disagrees with the decision:

"He should not give back the masters. There’s no reason to."

NoloMabasa_ said:

"Respectfully, Sbu is absolutely correct on this one. It's business."

OF_747 wasn't convinced:

"I don't buy this nonsense, Sbu is just riding the wave here. If he wanted to give Zahara what was due to her, he should have done that a long time ago."
