Bulelwa Mkutukana, better known by her stage as Zahara, is getting set to walk down the aisle with her engineer boyfriend, Mpho Xaba.
Sources tell a local tabloid that the Loliwe hitmaker will have a summer wedding in November this year, which will be split into two ceremonies.
“She is going to have her traditional wedding followed by her white wedding and that is what she is currently preparing for,” said the source who is Zahara’s friend.
The singer confirmed that she was engaged for a third time again in a deleted tweet in March.
“When other men [were] busy doing load shedding in my life, I found myself a generator, ” she wrote at the time.
In another tweet, she shared a picture of her kissing her new fiancé with the caption: “I said yes.”

Zahara’s fiance is Mpho Xaba whom she had been dating for six months before he popped the question.
According to Zimoja at the time, the engineer customized her ring to represent the musician’s personality; modest yet glamorous; he said.
“It’s a beautifully customized proposal ring. I know money is not important, but he paid R10 000 for the ring,” the artist’s assistant, Lisa, said after helping Xaba with the proposal.
Zahara has already been engaged twice. Amaza Nstshnga, a radio presenter on Umhlobo Wenene FM, proposed to the reality TV star in 2017. They had been together for over five years.
She was supposedly engaged to Ian Sibiya two years later. Their relationship, however, did not last long.
