Zahara, the iconic musician, was engaged to Mpho Xaba, and the couple celebrated their ‘lobola’ ceremony with friends and family just days before she fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.
However, there’s a twist to the story. The singer’s family has stated that they do not recognize Mpho as their daughter’s Zahara husband because he did not pay the full lobola. According to a source close to the family, Mpho faces exclusion despite his efforts and dedication.
The source reveals to Zimoja that the family does not consider him the official husband due to the incomplete lobola payment, creating tension.
The drama escalated at the memorial service last week. Certain family members prohibited Mpho from speaking, arguing that he is not their son-in-law.
The strained relationship between Mpho and the family has reached a point. There are concerns that he might take legal action to halt the funeral preparations if he is omitted.
The family is apprehensive about potential drastic measures if Mpho’s demands are not met. This adds another layer of complexity to the already challenging situation.
