I am very saddened by the passing of @ZaharaSA. My deepest condolences to the Mkutukana family and the South African music industry. Government has been with the family for some time now. Zahara and her guitar made an incredible and lasting impact in South African music. pic.twitter.com/1a402aQfLs

It is totally unacceptable for anyone, media or not, to break news about the death of anyone before the family takes out official communication. Members of the family can’t hear about the passing of their loved ones on media or social media!
