Zahara to be laid to rest

EAST LONDON - It's the final swansong for much-loved Afropop sensation Zahara.

Friends and family will bid their final farewell to the multi-platinum award winning songstress in East London.

The 36-year-old died of liver complications in Johannesburg on 11 December.

Zahara broke into the industry with her debut album 'Loliwe' which took the country by storm in 2011.

She went double platinum in just over two weeks.

Her family describes her as a beacon of hope and says her music healed many souls.
