Zahara wonders if she's still the girl Madiba admired.
Zahara Talks About Things Madiba Said To Her When She Paid Him A Visit. Back in 2012 Zahara had the privilege to pay Tata Madiba a visit where she performed for him some of her greatest tracks.
She said that when she reflected on the experience and the bond she shared with Tata she wondered if she was still the amazing person he thought she was.
“I was the one who did the send off for Mandela. I think about him and wonder, ‘Am I doing alright by Mandela?’ He loved me. He told me that he was proud of me and that I was a special girl. He said that the country was lucky to have me. I wonder if I would still have that confidence in me. Would he still have that confidence in all of us? I think he would.
“Mandela Day is not about showing off or telling everyone you are a good person. The person next to you is struggling and you can’t wait until Mandela Day to help. Every day should be Mandela Day. That is what he wanted from us all.”
