    The beloved South African singer-songwriter Zahara, renowned for her soul-stirring voice and moving ballads that led to platinum records and numerous awards, passed away at a Johannesburg hospital on Monday. She was 36 years old.

    Zahara, born Bulelwa Mkutukana, hailed from the village of Phumlani in Eastern Cape. She rose to fame with no formal musical education, teaching herself guitar and captivating audiences with her unique blend of English and Xhosa lyrics. Her journey from a street performer to a celebrated artist, who once performed for Nelson Mandela, is a testament to her extraordinary gift.

    Her debut album, “Loliwe,” launched in 2011, was critically acclaimed, marking the beginning of a luminous career. Zahara’s latest album, “Nqaba Yam,” released in 2021, continued to showcase her profound impact on Afro-soul music. Collaborations with African music legends and recognition as one of BBC’s 100 women of 2020 further solidified her legacy.

    The music world mourns her loss, remembering her as a symbol of raw talent and heartfelt storytelling that transcended borders.
