Zahara’s Family Confirm Her Illness

The family of Bulelwa Mkutukana, popularly known as Zahara, released an official statement about her health.

Over the weekend, a source revealed that the sensational singer is facing some serious health issues. They also shared that she was receiving medical attention already.

Family members from East London have rallied around her fiancé, Mpho Xaba, who has been a pillar of support.

Also, Zahara’s family is striving to cover the costs of extensive tests as she lacks comprehensive medical aid coverage. The family, alongside Mpho, has maintained strict privacy, disallowing media interactions or visits to the Johannesburg North private hospital.

Seeing that the news made it to the public’s ears already, the Mkutukanas dropped an official statement today.

A Statement from the Zahara Family and Team

WE WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AS A FAMILY TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR THE OUTPOURING OF LOVE, SUPPORT, AND COMPASSION FOR OUR DEAREST ZAHARA SINCE THE RECENT MEDIA ARTICLES ABOUT THE NATURE OF HER HEALTH.

FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND CONCERN, AND BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU LOVE ZAHARA, WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON OUR DAUGHTER’S HEALTH.

THE DOCTORS ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY AND WE AWAIT FURTHER UPDATES FROM THEM.

UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN THOUGH OUR DAUGHTER’S HOSPITALIZATION HAS BEEN OF STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY WITHIN OUR FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS, THAT HASN’T STOPPED THE SPREAD OF DISINGENUOUS INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. WE WANT TO STRESS THAT ANY RELIABLE INFORMATION REGARDING ZAHARA’S HEALTH WILL BE COMMUNICATED VIA HER OFFICIAL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS OR BY HERSELF.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE ARE ASKING FOR PRIVACY ON THIS MATTER; AND YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS FOR THE SPEEDY RECOVERY OF OUR BELOVED ZAHARA. WE TRUST THAT SHE WILL BE BACK ON THE ROAD SOON; DOING WHAT SHE LOVES, AND WHAT WE ALL LOVE HER FOR: HEALING PEOPLE THROUGH HER POWERFUL GIFT AND LOVE OF MUSIC.

WITH LOVE AND KINDNESS

THE ZAHARA FAMILY AND TEAM”
