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.
“Her family creates a crisis. They lied, her sisters lied. …They said I was busy claiming Bulelwa’s properties, I don’t know why.
“I have three properties, I don’t know why they would think that because Bulelwa’s house was on the verge of getting auctioned again. And I am the one who said ‘let us get out of that situation’,” he said.
Xaba revealed that despite being sidelined, he was still paying for Zahara’s medical bills.
“I am still paying her hospital bill. Her total hospital bill is around R820,000. Fortunately medical aid covered R712,000 of it. The rest I must pay for it.
“There is no one to pay for it in the family. Obviously because they only care about themselves and what they can get from all of this,” he said. Telly Africa
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You where never be a hubby
What was your motive of marrying her few weeks before her death. That might be the question your in-laws are asking themselves.

Godfrey Viki what an idiot u are u think he knew he is marrying someone who is going to pass on how can u be so stupid in yo thinking are u ok upstairs
Allen Kufazvinei One has to be known by parents and family members of the spouse before he marries their daughter. You don’t just marry their daughter like she is a leaf that dropped from a tree. That is why the family felt they had nothing to do with him.
I think they shut him out bcos of what she told them
Inlaws are heartless
Zahara was food poisoned by a relative during her lobola ceremonies. The husband paid lots of money to the pvt hospital were she took her last breath. He was angry and shutted out most of Zahara’s relatives out of her illness as he would not know who was real and who was not.
Life happened. He should seek inner healing and move on
Uyo Anga aperawo kunge zapu
That’s the reason why our african culture is very important. If he could have followed culture, parents of both sides could have been involved. Now it like they don’t know him from Zahara family
