Actress Lusanda Mbane, drove from Johannesburg to Phumlani to wish Zahara a heavenly birthday.
When Zahara passed away after the family received Zahara’s remains she delivered the singer’s accolades and guitar.
Since meeting Zahara through a two-hour interview when she was a presenter on TruFM, Lusanda said they formed a sisterhood.
“My journey was that of a big sister and that was the relationship.
“I was there for her when she needed me as a big sister, and I was there when we had fun as well but that didn’t always end well because the big sister in me would always come out and Bulelwa was very stubborn.”
While the narrative on socials has been about how Zahara’s friends failed her, Lusanda said she had witnessed people in the singer’s life who would “say yes to everything” she said but she was always the one who would call her to order.
