HARARE - Bulelwa Mkutukana reached hearts beyond the borders of South Africa.
Zimbabwe music lovers and promoters say the loss of Zahara is theirs as well.
The singer-songwriter, who passed away last week, performed several times in Zimbabwe.
She once shared the stage with the now-late music icon Oliver Mtukudzi.
Zahara will be laid to rest in her hometown of East London on Saturday. Many here in Zimbabwe will be bidding her farewell from a distance.
