Also known as “Country Girl”, Zahara won the hearts of South Africans when she released her debut, multi-platinum-selling studio album Loliwe in November 2011.
Before the spotlight shone bright on Zahara, she was just a village girl from East London, Eastern Cape known for her captivating voice reminiscent of the great Tracy Chapman.
“Mali mali mbangi yezono [money root of all evil/sins.” This is a chorus line from one of the award-winning singer Bulelwa “Zahara” Mkutukana songs released in 2015 to shed spotlight on the troubles of the music industry.
