Ringo Madlingozi slammed South Africans for not protecting Zahara
Ringo Madlingozi rebuked South Africans while giving his tribute at Zahara’s funeral service.
The late singer’s funeral service funeral was held at the East London International Convention Centre, last weekend.
“We have failed Zahara as South Africans. We have failed to protect Zahara because we do not love each other. We respect other people from other countries but here at home [South Africa] we do not respect and love each other. Zahara gave us beautiful music, healing music.
“I will always love you [Zahara]. We have failed Zahara, that is the truth. We never realised the star in her. We should have protected her better than we did,” said Madlingozi, while holding back the tears.
Zahara, real name Bulelwa Mkutukana died 11 December at Olievedale Netcare Hospital in Johannesburg after battling liver complications.
