Following the claims that were made by businessman DJ Sbu and his ex-partner at TS Records T.K Nciza that they did not owe the late award winning Zahara money, a record clip of the singer has emerged, in a recording, where she stressed that they still owe her. The Loliwe hitmaker said, in a recorded clip, that DJ Sbu, whose real name is Sbu Leope, TK Nciza and his ex wife and Mafikizolo group member Nhlanhla Mafu still owed her money.
As if that was not enough, the Ndiza songstress is overheard cursing Sbu, TK and Nhlanhla that whatever bad that is happening in their lives is because Jesus is dealing with them decisively. Speaking during Zahara?s funeral that was held at East London International Convention Centre on December 23, TK claimed that Zahara healed through her music.
?She was very proud of her background and where she came from. What it means is that you must take pride in where you come from as a person. She always said she comes from Phumlani, because she must inspire many people who are coming from that area and I think she did that,? he said.
?She was not just a musician to me, and I know that people always believe that it was always a transactional issue. She was my younger sister, she was my kid, we loved each other till the last day,” he said. But judging by the recording, it sounds like the two did not see eye to eye Following Zahara?s funeral, who died on 11 December, DJ Sbu was interviewed by Newzroom Afrika on allegations that he owed her money.
“We made sure that she owns her own publishing, which she didwith Sheer Music Publishing. Sheer paid her royalties directly into her bank account and they’ve done so ever since we’ve been working together.And also, with our music catalogue – Universal Music, we also made sure instead of Universal Music paying TS Records, that they would distribute the funds to her. I am my own man, I know how to make my own money. I am a hard-worker. The only thing I’ve ever done was to contribute and help her succeed. The story that was out there that we were owing monies is false,” he said.
In a twist of events, Zahara is overheard in the recorded clip, in conversation with a friend, saying they are still owe her money. Do you know Dj Sbu? Sbu who owns TS Records, he?s now busy hugging trees. They owe me. On the other hand, TK?s fiance went back to her old boyfriend. He now has swollen feet. Nhlanhla is having a hearing problem. Jesus is dealing with them decisively,” Zahara said in the recording
