EMBARRASSING: Zahara’s Drinking Problem Resurfaces Again?

Zahara is again facing allegations of having a drinking problem. Allegations, which have plagued the musicians since the early days of her career. It seems that when she is not waging war against DJ Sbu and the ongoing speculation that he robbed her of her royalties. It does not take long until the matter of her alleged drinking problem rears its ugly head to ruin whatever good work she has been doing.

Zahara’s drinking problem resurfaces

In recent months, Zahara has been travelling across Africa as she has garnered a fan base within the continent. Her most recent travels saw her travel to Accra, Ghana to perform. All things seemed well in terms of her getting her life back together.

But then this was all ruined when attendees at the Macufe Festival took to Twitter to share videos from her performance the night before. In the videos, Zahara audibly sounds off key as she struggles between slurs to perform her touching and spiritually charged song, Ndiza. The initial post did not suggest that she was drunk, but left it to the public to put one and one together to get whatever number they wanted to get.

In most instances, tweeps on social media leaned more towards believing that the singer had again gone under the bender and was performing drunk. Even Nota took to social media to suggest that her recent viral performance was more evidence that Zahara has been slandering DJ Sbu and TK Nciza with the constant allegations that she was short changed by her former record label, TS Records.

The downfall of Zahara is alcohol, no one will book her anymore if she going to sing like she is singing for kids in creche.

South Africans have Ubuntu, they were ready to fully support her after DJ Sbu saga, but now she is disappointing us again 💔😭 pic.twitter.com/wCoU3VjMy9

Zahara won’t recover until she apologises to TK Nciza & DJ Sbu for all the lies she’s told about them… Until then substances will continue to bedevil her. She used to say she doesn’t want to end up a Brenda Fassie but now she’s doing everything in her power to ensure she does!💔

But there were still some tweeps who believed that this was not an indication that Zahara was drunk. Instead, there were some that suggested that she had a “bad day at the office.” While some were other attendees at the festival who suggest that they personally enjoyed her performance and the video shared was intent on making her look bad.

Zahara didn’t promise a great show, this was probably one of those bad nights. She’s still amazing
