Somizi Mhlongo condemns people who are celebrating Zahara after passing away.
The singer died on 11 December, Monday night after battling liver complications at a Johannesburg private hospital.
Photos and videos of the late star trended on social media, with her name at the peak of the trend list.
During a recent episode of his Bathroom Talk, the media personality addressed people including himself who respect death and not life.
“When I heard Zahara is in hospital and she’s not in a good condition, I thought, should Zahara not make it, I know for sure Zahara is going to be an overnight hero, icon. People are going to be saying how she was gone too soon, how she was amazing, how she was an amazing vocalist,” he said.
Somizi slammed people who didn’t give her flowers to smell, and he further warned people to not bring him flowers after he is dead.
“Yet we know that in reality she was one of the most mocked personalities. People celebrated her downfall, people used to make fun of her situation. We knew she had her share of hardships. But she was hardly given her flowers. You have to die for you to be acknowledged, more respected, more honoured and to be given your flowers literally and figuratively. If Zahara cried for help, which she did, hardly anybody jumped. But look at the funeral.”
