  2. We Mourn the Passing of Zahara It is with heavy hearts and deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, sister, and friend, Zahara. Surrounded by family and loved ones, Zahara departed this world on Monday, 11 December 2023. She was a pure light, and an even purer heart, in this world. A beacon of hope, a gift, and a blessing to us and countless people around the world. A legendary figure in the world of music, Zahara remarkably touched millions of people’s lives with her extraordinary gift and passion for music. She leaves behind an indelible mark on the music industry and a legacy that will forever resonate in our hearts and souls. A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered. May we remember Zahara not with sorrow, but with stories of healing, joy, kindness, and inspiration she brought to us through her life and her music. May she rest in eternal peace, and may her melodies continue to echo in our hearts forever. #RIPZahara 🌹

  1. The day is finally here. 🤩The kids and I made the best dessert Mommy has ever had and @lancewood.co.za helped us do that!! Well, maybe not the absolute best, but you can’t go wrong with the Lancewood Double Cream Indulgent Yoghurts. The kids really took this seriously, and I think Mommy’s heart was dancing at the end. Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing Mothers out there. Grab the recipe for this delicious dessert here…link in my Bio.. #MothersDaySpoils #LANCEWOODQualityTime
