It’s no secret that many South African artists are struggling to make ends meet.
Over the last few months, a number of singers and actresses have spoken out about their financial struggle and how they cannot afford just about anything at the moment.
The latest artist who is allegedly facing financial difficulties is Loliwe singer Zahara. Last week City Press reported that the bank is planning on auctioning her home due to non-payments.
Even if it’s as little as R100-Zahara asks Mzansi for help.
According to reports, she owes just over R17k on the property which she purchased using a home loan for R1.9 million.
This means that the star has not been able to make payments for the last six months.
As a result, the Loliwe hitmaker is asking for help – according to Daily Sun.
“Even if it’s as little as R100. I’m open for help from anyone!” she was quoted as saying.
She added that anybody prepared to assist can call her on 067 037 1750 and she will let them know how and where they can send donations.
A friend reaches out
mean while, a friend has reached out to Zahara, offering to lend a helping hand.
Thabo Jama, a musician who recorded Shappa Phala and Thandaza with Zahara told Daily Sun he wants to help as they have become friends through her kindness.
The YouTuber says that the Modi singer offered to help him for free when he was in desperate need to get his career off the ground and now it’s time for him to return the favour.
“I’ve got designer clothes, some that I’ve only worn once. I’ve already started to approach people who own clothing stores to buy these clothes,” he said.
“When you’re at her house, you don’t feel like a visitor. You feel like you belong there. She deserves all the help she can get.”
Jama further said he has spoken to Zahara and she is grateful.
“I told her saw the news and I would like to help her and she thanked me. She said I have a big heart and she is grateful to have a friend like me.”
“We hadn’t spoken extensively about what he wants to do for me. I really appreciate his help,” Zahara reportedly said about Jama’s kind gesture.
