LOVE IS IN THE AIR: Mpho and Zahara

Multi-award-winning singer and songwriter Zahara, real name Bulelwa Mkutukana, said ‘yes’ to her boyfriend Mpho Xaba after a courtship of six months.

The Loliwe singer’s engineer berk snatched her up in front of her family and friends on Friday when he proposed to the shocked singer.

It’s said she was under the impression that she was going to be part of a podcast interview.

But Xaba and his PA planned the whole set-up with rose petals and champaign on hand.

The singer’s family were in full celebration when Xaba popped the big question.

While this is not the first time the singer has been engaged, she was chuffed when Xaba got down on one knee in his white suit.

Tweeps had mixed reactions to the singer’s loved-up post, where she flashed her engagement ring as her fiancé leaned in for a kiss from behind her.
