Somizi acknowledges the hurt he caused Zahara

During her memorial service, media personality Somizi Mhlongo gave a moving eulogy in her honour.

After her death, he condemned the people who were mean to Zahara. But he was also quick to reflect on his wrongdoing by pointing out the distasteful joke he made at the SAMAs.

He said he hurt her but was glad they managed to work things out and work on their friendship.

"I’m one of those people who owes her an apology. I learnt my lesson, because I took it for granted that it was a joke, but we don’t know how much we hurt people. I realised later that I hurt her. Luckily, we had time on earth to reconcile and become friends again.
