According to TshisaLIVE, the Mkutukanas began the day by visiting Zahara's grave, donning matching "You are forever loved, Masithathu" tribute T-shirts. Zahara's friend, Lusanda Mbane, shared pictures from the ceremony.
Her sister, Bandezwa, admitted that they never played Zahara's music since she passed. However, this time, it was different:
"It was our first time listening to her songs since she passed away. We couldn't listen to them without crying. Now, the family was singing along to them.
"It felt like we had reached a turning point; her birthday felt different. We believe she was smiling down on us."
The family reportedly plans to host another concert on the anniversary of Zahara's death to honour her legacy.
Zahara bags posthumous award nominations
Her birthday was not the only event her family was looking forward to after Zahara bagged two nominations at the SA Afro Music Awards.
She was recognised in the Best Female Afro Soul Artist Of Democracy category, while her debut album, Loliwe, was nominated for Best Afro Album Of Democracy.
They served as her first posthumous nominations, and her album competed with the likes of Ina Ethe by Zonke and Thandiswa Mazwai's Zabalaza.
