TRYING TO REACH NHLANHLA MAFU?
Last week, a family member reportedly told the publication that they are trying to get ahold of Mafikizolo songstress, Nhlanhla Mafu (formerly Nciza). Nhlanhla is the ex-wife of Thembinkosi “TK” Nciza who who gave Zahara her big break over 10 years ago.
“We hear that she is aware that Zahara is battling with her health and she needs to do some tests. We are trying to get her to assist her financially because when TK took her to Joburg to record in 2010, Zahara stayed with them at their home for over a year.
“As a mother, Nhlanhla will understand the situation that Zahara is in because she is the one who taught her about the hustle and bustle of the fast life of Joburg. They became so close that Zahara would tell us that Nhlanhla treated her like her daughter,” said the family member.
“This is the time when her former boss, TK Nciza should come to her rescue. He is the one who discovered her when she was still a busker in the streets and at pubs. TK is a politician and should show ubuntu by helping this girl with her hospital bills.”
