Mpho Xaba, the man who married South African singer Zahara a few weeks before her death, has revealed that he still does not know where she is buried, as her family shut him out on the day following her demise last year.
Zahara passed away on 11 December at a private hospital in Johannesburg after struggling with a liver ailment.
Xaba, who proposed to Zahara in March last year, reportedly paid lobola for the Afro-soul musician only a few weeks before her death.
While he had been welcomed gracefully by her family while Zahara lived, Xaba said, all this changed when she passed away he told Sunday World.
“I was completely sidelined on funeral arrangements. [They did] not consult me on anything. Myself and my family were completely sidelined. Our opinions didn’t matter. In fact, we were not allowed to make any opinions,” he said.
Xaba, a businessman, said that Zahara’s sisters had started fabricating stories that he wanted to grab her property, which had fuelled negative sentiments against him.
