Zahara’s Husband Still Paying Her Hospital Bill Despite Snub by Family

She was laid to rest in her home province of the Eastern Cape on December 23.Speaking to Sunday World, Xaba shared the emotional toll he has endured, including months of therapy to cope with the pain of being mistreated by Zahara’s family before she was even buried.

Unsettled Family Matters

Xaba spoke out for the first time following reports that Zahara’s family has been evicted from her house in Roodepoort due to bond arrears. The family is currently selling her furniture on WhatsApp to the highest bidder. Despite his estrangement from her family, Xaba is legally responsible for Zahara’s hospital bill, which stands at around R820,000. Fortunately, medical aid covered R712,000, but he must pay the remaining amount.Lobola and Family Disputes

Xaba explained that he felt legally obliged to be involved in Zahara’s burial because he had paid lobola for her a few weeks before her death. Despite this, he chose not to engage in legal battles with her family to protect her honor. “I was completely sidelined on funeral arrangements. They did not consult me on anything. Myself and my family were completely sidelined. Our opinions didn’t matter. In fact, we were not allowed to make any opinions,” he said.

Xaba recalled how warmly he was initially welcomed by Zahara’s family, with her sisters calling him their brother. However, this warmth quickly turned into hostility just days after her death.

A Misguided Crisis

“The funeral I attended was the public ceremony at the ICC. I never went to the graveyard. To this day I don’t know where she is buried because that is how bad things were,” Xaba revealed. He described how Zahara’s family created a crisis, accusing him of claiming her properties. He denied these allegations, emphasizing that he owns three properties and had no interest in her possessions, especially since her house was on the verge of being auctioned again. “I am the one who said, ‘let us get out of that situation,’” he asserted.
