Zahara’s Family Selling Her Awards and Possessions: A Legacy in Jeopardy

The South African music industry was left reeling when Zahara, born Bulelwa Mkutukana, passed away on December 11, 2023, at the young age of 36. The acclaimed singer-songwriter had built a legacy that transcended her music, inspiring countless fans with her resilience and talent. However, her family is now facing a difficult decision: selling her awards and possessions to make ends meet.

Zahara’s sisters, Lumka Mkutukana and Bandezwa Mkutukana-Febana, have reportedly put up various items from Zahara’s home for sale, including her bedroom suite, lounge suite, kitchen supplies, flat-screen TV, and double-door fridge. Moreover, the awards that bear Zahara’s name are also on the market, but have yet to attract any buyers.


 

 

 

 

 
The decision to sell Zahara’s possessions comes as a last resort, following the auctioning off of her townhouse in Roodepoort last year. The family had planned to repurchase the property, but unfortunately, Zahara passed away before that could happen. The townhouse held sentimental value, as it was a symbol of Zahara’s hard work and dedication to her craft.

Zahara’s achievements in the music industry are nothing short of remarkable. With a career spanning over 11 years, she garnered an impressive collection of over 40 awards, solidifying her position as one of South Africa’s most celebrated musicians. Her music transcended genres, inspiring fans from all walks of life.

The benefit concert planned to raise funds for the repurchase of Zahara’s townhouse has been indefinitely postponed due to venue and funding difficulties. The event, which was slated to feature various artists, including Zahara’s dear friend Vusi Nova, aimed to honor her legacy and raise funds for the family to reclaim their cherished home.

Bandezwa Mkutukana-Febana expressed the family’s sentiment, “Zahara fought for her house while she was still alive, throughout her career that’s what she managed to hold on to. Also, to us, that was like home, that’s why we wanted to keep it because it’s got so many memories for us with her in it. It’s part of her legacy, we do not really want to lose it.”

As the family navigates this difficult time, fans and fellow musicians have come out in support, paying tribute to Zahara’s enduring legacy. Her music continues to inspire and uplift, a testament to her talent and dedication.

The sale of Zahara’s awards and possessions serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing our legacies. While material possessions may fade, the impact of Zahara’s music and spirit will continue to resonate with generations to come.

In conclusion, Zahara’s family faces a difficult decision, but her legacy will forever be etched in the hearts of her fans. Her music, her spirit, and her resilience will continue to inspire, even in the face of adversity. As we remember Zahara, we honor her memory by celebrating her life, her music, and the indelible mark she left on the South African music industry.

Shepherd Bushiri Returns to South Africa Amidst Controversy

Shepherd Bushiri, the controversial self-proclaimed prophet, has reportedly returned to South Africa, sparking a wave of concern and speculation. Bushiri, who fled the country to avoid arrest, is believed to be back to pursue financial opportunities, despite his previous legal troubles.

Bushiri and his wife, Mary, fled South Africa in November 2020 after being granted bail. They were facing charges of fraud, money laundering, and theft involving millions of rand. The escape prompted a significant manhunt and a diplomatic standoff between South Africa and Malawi, where Bushiri has considerable influence.Despite his dramatic departure and the ongoing legal issues, sources indicate that Bushiri has slipped back into South Africa undetected by law enforcement. His return appears to be motivated by the search for “greener pastures,” likely linked to his church activities and financial ventures.The news of Bushiri’s return has not yet reached the authorities, raising questions about how he managed to re-enter the country and what his plans might be. Given his controversial history and the significant following he maintains, his presence is likely to stir public interest and potentially reignite legal actions against him.


 

 

 

 
Bushiri’s return underscores the challenges South African authorities face in monitoring and controlling high-profile fugitives. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the police will respond and whether Bushiri will face the legal consequences that prompted his initial flight.

For now, the enigmatic figure’s reappearance is a stark reminder of the unresolved legal and ethical questions surrounding his activities and influence.

Man divorces wife after seeing her without make-up

In a shocking turn of events, a newlywed couple’s dreamy honeymoon came to an abrupt end when the groom decided to divorce his bride after seeing her without makeup for the first time. This incident occurred mere days after their wedding, leaving the bride devastated and seeking psychological counseling.

The couple, who met on Facebook and had a whirlwind engagement of three months, had jetted off to Richards Bay for their romantic getaway. However, their happiness was short-lived. During a swim, the bride’s makeup washed away, revealing her natural appearance. The groom, reportedly stunned by the difference, claimed he could barely recognize his wife.


 
The groom accused the bride of deception, citing her extensive use of makeup and cosmetic surgeries. Feeling betrayed by what he perceived as a significant difference in her appearance, he decided to end the marriage. This abrupt decision left the bride reeling, seeking help from Dr. Molapo, a consultant psychologist, to cope with her emotional distress.

Public Reaction and Debate

The story has sparked a heated debate, with some sympathizing with the bride and criticizing the groom’s shallow perspective. Others have questioned the ethics of altering one’s appearance significantly through makeup and cosmetic procedures. The incident highlights the complexities of modern relationships, where expectations and perceptions of physical appearance can play a critical role.

The Importance of Honesty and Acceptance

This unusual case serves as a reminder of the importance of honesty and acceptance in relationships. While makeup and cosmetic enhancements are common, it is essential for partners to communicate openly about their expectations and boundaries. The incident also raises questions about the pressures of societal beauty standards and the impact on individual self-esteem.

In conclusion, this bizarre divorce saga underscores the significance of mutual understanding and acceptance in relationships. As the world grapples with evolving beauty standards and the role of technology in relationships, this story serves as a poignant reminder of the need for genuine communication and empathy in our personal lives.

Interesting facts About Julius Malema’s Wife ( Mantwa Matlala )

Julius Malema’s wife is breathtaking, indicating that the leader of South Africa’s opposition party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has a penchant for attractive women. Despite his preference for keeping his family out of the spotlight, he can’t help but boast about them on social media now and then.


 

 

 

 

 

 

Mantwa Matlala

Despite the fact that she is the wife of a public figure, Mantwa Matlala has kept her private life private. Her positive reports have made their way into the public sphere despite her departure from the public eye. Her husband, who is ecstatic with his lovely and supporting wife, is usually quick to talk about how lucky he is to have such a wonderful wife.

Quick Profile Summary of Mantwa Matlala
Name: Mantwa Matlala
Date of Birth: January 30
Place of Birth: Seshogo, Polokwane, Limpopo Province
Nationality: South African
Occupation: Accountant
Relationship Status: Married
Spouse: Julius Malema
Number of Children: 2

Mantwa Matlala Is Best Known As The Wife Of Julius Malema
Julius Malema’s attractive wife, Mantwa Matlala, prefers to keep her personal life secret. She became well-known after marrying an anti-apartheid activist and founding the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa (EFF). Given her private life and the fact that she is Julius Malema’s wife, it’s safe to say she is best known as Julius Malema’s wife.

Mantwa is a career-driven lady, despite the fact that her marriage catapulted her into the spotlight. She is a skilled accountant who works for a firm in Johannesburg. Given that, unlike entertainment, her professional activity had little to do with the general public, it’s understandable that her professional activity did not bring her to the public’s attention.

The Couple Started Their Relationship in High School
Julius Malema began seeing his wife while still in high school, according to sources. We can readily say that they began dating in the early or mid-2000s, based on the fact that he graduated from high school in 2010.

The lovebirds ultimately tied the knot on November 27, 2014, after dating for a long time. In today’s world, it’s unusual to see a young guy marry right after graduating from high school, but in Malema’s case, it’s understandable, given that he graduated at the age of 29.

Mantwa Matlala And Julius Malema Tied the Knot in December 2014
Mantwa and her husband’s need for seclusion started long before they married and peaked during their wedding ceremony. Their neighbors were apparently ignorant of the wedding and were surprised when they were requested to sign a petition allowing the family to install a marquee in preparation for the event. They realized they were planning a wedding around this time.

The wedding was purely by invitation, with only 500 people receiving invitations, and 20 security men were employed to ensure the utmost level of security and that only invited guests were let in. Neighbors were informed that photographing the event was not permitted. As one might expect, the event drew the crème de la crème of society’s elite. Broadcast and political figures are among the guests, some of whom arrived in their own private helicopters.

Their Union Is Blessed With Two Children
Mantwa and Julius Malema’s marriage has produced two amazing sons in whom they take great pride. Munzhedi was their first kid, born in 2016, and Kopani was born in 2018.

Mantwa and Julius try to keep their sons out of public areas as well. That hasn’t stopped Julius Malema from occasionally posting images of his children on Instagram, displaying his gratitude for having such great children.

Julius had a son named Ratanang with Maropeng Ramohlale, a lady he was acquainted with before marrying Mantwa Matlala, in 2006, and Mantwa Matlala’s two children with Julius are not the only ones in the family. Despite the fact that the relationship did not work out, Malema accepted his son and is actively involved in his development.

Julius Malema once made an open remark criticizing government officials of favoring private institutions over government-run facilities. Unfortunately for him, his words backfired when South Africans demanded that he transfer his son Ratanang from a private school to a government facility. Julius Malema was hesitant to give in to the pressure.

Julius Malema Has A Very Supportive Wife
Julius Malema’s Instagram account is full of photographs of his gorgeous wife and sons, so saying he keeps his family off social media may not be truthful. But just because he flaunts them to the world doesn’t imply he’s open about his family. The pair, on the other hand, is private, as seen by their wedding ceremony. They’ve never been involved in any sort of public scandal.

That could be because they have learnt how to resolve their problems without involving the public, rather than because they are two flawless people who never have a quarrel. Julius has a lovely wife who understands and supports him in whatever he does. He’s been in the news for the good, terrible, and ugly, and his wife, Mantwa Matlala, has always been there for him.

Malema’s political activity is considered to be the cause for their decision to keep their life private. You can agree that his political activity is cause enough to stay away from the public, based on how the public jumped at the opportunity to get at him through his first son, Ratanang.

Mantwa Matlala Celebrates Her Birthday Every 30th January
It should come as no surprise that nothing is known about Mantwa’s childhood. Her date of birth, on the other hand, has been revealed courtesy to an Instagram post by her spouse. Julius always remembers to wish his wife a happy birthday on January 30th and rant about how fortunate he is to have her as his wife.

There are also claims that she was born and raised in Seshogo and attended Capricorn High School, and it’s vital to remember that she is both a quiet and a fun-loving person. When it comes to movie and date nights, she is regarded to be the family’s genius.

Muvhango’ on SABC again after cancellation

The cancellation of the popular South African soapie, Muvhango, in June 2024 came as a disappointment to its loyal and devoted fan base. The show, which had been on the air for over two decades, was renowned for its focus on Venda culture and its ability to captivate audiences with its modern and relatable storylines.

As one of the country’s most watched television programs, Muvhango had become a cultural institution, providing a platform to showcase the richness and diversity of South African society.

The announcement of the show’s cancellation sparked an outcry among fans and cultural enthusiasts alike, with many expressing their sadness and disbelief at the prospect of never again seeing their beloved characters on the screen. The soapie’s popularity was not limited to the general public, as even some of the country’s celebrities, such as Sizwe Dhlomo, voiced their disapproval of the decision.


 

 

In the wake of the cancellation, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) made a surprising announcement, stating that they would be replaying Muvhango from the very first season in 2024 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of South Africa’s democracy. While this news provided some solace to the show’s loyal fans, many were still left feeling disappointed and longing for the production of new content, as they were more interested in seeing fresh and innovative storytelling.

Collen Mdlongwa wrote: “Why should they want us to view what we have already seen over the years? How does this benefit viewers? Clearly they are taking viewers for granted. Keep your retro episodes, we don’t want them”

The cancellation of Muvhango, a beloved and iconic South African television series, marked the end of an era for the country’s cultural landscape. However, the outpouring of support and the SABC’s decision to revisit the show’s past seasons serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable soapie and its ability to captivate and inspire audiences for over two decades.
