Those entering the comment section have meanwhile also expressed how Zahara’s passing has affected them.

“I haven’t dealt with this death… I think I blocked it… it’s hard for me to even listen to her songs,” wrote one user.

Another added: “I thought of Zahara this morning […] we were looking forward to hearing more of her music, and in my mind, I said kodwa, her voice was truly special, even her music. May her soul continue to rest in peace.”

“Pain keeps on sinking in and in. Happy Heavenly birthday Bulelwa Zahara,” commented a third person.

Following her passing last year, the singer was described by family members as being a pure light with an even purer heart who touched millions of lives in this world.
