The musician’s old videos about her fight for “fair” remuneration against her first record label, TS Records also trended this week after her family confirmed her passing.

TshisaLIVE reports that the Loliwe singer spoke with pain about remuneration under TS records, owned by Thembinkosi “TK” Nciza and Sibusiso Leope aka DJ Sbu.

The award-winning singer, who left the label in 2017 revealed on Podcast and Chill : “They still owe me, for real. At the end of the day, they know what they did. They could charge for gigs R80,000 or R120,000 with the full band or R100,000. I used to get R15,000, but even that I had to beg for.”

SABC confirmed that Zahara passed away on Monday evening, 11 December at the age of 36 in a Johannesburg hospital.

The singer’s memorial service will be held on Thursday, 14 December at the Rhema Bible Church in Randburg, Johannesburg and will begin at 11:00 and end at 14:00.
