According to ZiMoja, a family member confirmed that the late singer's reality show will continue for the second season, where her life before and after she died will be showcased and that, hopefully, her fiance, Mpho Xaba, will be allowed to be a part of it to tell his side of the story.

He said:

"She had intended to film the new season, capturing the lobola celebration and all its aspects. Unfortunately, she fell ill and collapsed on the day of the lobola, altering the course of events. Despite this setback, the SABC has approached the family, and they have consented to proceed with the show.
"It has not been easy. There has been a lot of speculation and conflicts which will be cleared. Lacking familiarity with the intricacies of show business, the family is receiving valuable guidance from individuals such as Vusi Nova, one of her closest friends."

Zahara's family claims she was bewitched

In a previous report from Briefly News, Zahara's family revealed that she was admitted to the hospital two days after her lobola negotiations took place.

The family claimed she was as strong as an ox before complaining about aches and pains. The 36-year-old singer celebrated her successful negotiations with her fiancé, Mpho Xaba.
