ZiMoja reports that items such as Zahara’s bedroom suite, lounge suite, kitchen supplies, flat-screen TV and her double-door fridge have all gone up for sale.
However, those are not the only items that the singer’s sisters have put up for sale, as her awards are also being sold.
This caused a stir on the internet, as Zahara’s fans criticised the actions of her siblings, saying they never liked Zahara, no wonder she was always depressed and always crying on stage.
Meanwhile, awards are priceless and special to the winner dead or alive, do you think what they did was right, considering that Zahara never sold the awards when she was alive and in need of money rather she sought money elsewhere.
In a touching throwback post on his Instagram account, Chana shared a picture of him and Zahara with a poignant caption; “Young Khuli and Zahara” with a sad face emoji. Khuli Chana‘s recognition of the late songstress indicates the impact Zahara made in the SA music industry.
