Nova Sounds record label owner and multi-award-winning musician Vusi Nova has shared his difficulty dealing with the loss of his close friend Bulelwa Mkutukana, famously known as Zahara, allowing his friends and followers to comfort him during this difficult time.
Zahara died on the 11th of December at a Johannesburg private hospital after she suffered liver complications.
Vusi and the late Zahara were very close, often visiting each others’ homes for some bonding moments.
Some of these were shared by the Thandiwe hitmaker on his social media in the form of videos they captured together.
In one video, while laying in bed next to the Loliwe singer, Vusi captures her in her sleep, later waking her up and with a camera pointing in her face.
