I recently became acquainted with a young South African singer by the name of Zahara.
Zahara recently passed away
Not since the great Brenda Fassie has there been a South African with such a voice and impact on the people. Please listen to Umfazi
and Nyamezela
and Izolo
and Phendula
to hear the artistry of this musical icon.
Unfortunately, like the great Brenda "MaBrrr" Fassie, Zahara has also left too soon
But for millions, she will always live in our hearts
Peace,

P.S. Both Zahara and Brenda Fassie were favorites of Nelson Mandela. But Brenda was a powerful voice during the early days of the Democratic Republic of South Africa
and her signature Vulindlela still resonates
just as it did for Nelson Mandela in 2001
