Remembering Zahara | Childhood friends pay tribute

EASTERN CAPE - A songstress who captured the hearts of South Africans with her powerful voice and soothing sounds from her guitar.

At a relatively young age of 36, the music world has now been robbed of a great talent.

The death of Zahara has been felt not only by the millions who adored what she did on stage -- but also by close friends and family who knew the Eastern Cape-born as simply Bulelwa Mkutukana.
