“Your talent and us coming together created magic the whole country and the world is talking about you today for different reasons, but one common thing is your music. That makes me proud because I am one of the few who can talk about Zahara and that humbles me,” he said.

“One thing is for sure, we had our ups and downs like any other child and his father, but we understood what we meant to each other. [I] will write a book one day about your power to heal through that powerful voice of yours. Masthathu [clan name] good night. You made history [and] I am glad [that] I was part of it. One thing [is] for sure, as they say, you are a victim of your own success. Lala ngoxolo [RIP] Masthathu,” Nciza concluded.
