The Bellville Campus Quad was brought to a standstill in early October 2011, when South Africa’s new singing sensation, Zahara, sang and strummed her guitar to the jubilation of scores of music revelers who came to witness her talent.
Brought to CPUT courtesy of the Department of Student Affairs as part of its Wellness Day entertainment programme on campus, the songstress hypnotised her fans with songs from her new album, Loliwe.
‘Zahara’, whose real name is Bulelwa Mkutukana, has catapulted to iconic status all over the country after the release of her album earlier this year, which went double platinum within two weeks of its release. Her popularity could be witnessed by students and staff singing along with her during the renditions.
Student Development Officer, Lindi Gayiza, who was involved in organising the event, said it was for the first time that the Quad got to be packed as it was during this event.
Zahara told Moja she was overwhelmed by the manner in which she was received by the CPUT community and described her show here as quite fulfilling.
