Zahara, who is in a relationship with the 23-year-old motivational speaker, spoke to Drum about how they fell in love.

“I could not believe we both fell in love so quickly. He is such a gentleman, he does not come to the house without a gift, people will say that I said the same about my ex but I honestly believe my new boyfriend is the one.”

She then went on to say, “the night I met him I was so shy, I don’t know what overcame me I kept avoiding him for no particular reason.”

Update: 

There have been a lot of questions and speculations surrounding the end of her relationship with ex-boyfriend, Amaza but Zahara opened up about that too. 

“I gave him back the ring he bought when he proposed and asked him to leave,” she said, following a frank discussion between them about how things were no longer working out since she found herself crying on a regular basis after their numerous fights. 

It is also reported that she gave him back the rumored R20,000.00 lobola his family paid to hers.
