South African singer Zahara has once again come under attack by online trolls. A recent TikTok video the star shared has gained attention for all the wrong reasons.
In the clip, Zahara can be seen holding an ice-cream cone and dances on the street.
She is all smiles and seems to be enjoying herself as she twirls around carefree. However, the comments were less than kind with many unamused and accusing her of being under the influence of alcohol.
One of the responses in the comment section of the video read, “When you have time, leave alcohol alone!”
@zaharamusic Happy 2022💃🏼💃🏼❤️🙏🏽

While some trolled her, many of her fans said they didn’t see anything wrong with the singer having fun.
“From all these comments, I’m shocked to realize that dancing is a crime. My tiny brain can’t fathom this new phenomenon,” wrote Tshegofatso Mamogobo.
Last year a video of the Loliwe songstress performing on-stage seemingly drunk went viral.
Her message to her fans on the Ultimate Kaya 959 Top 30 with DJ Keyez was simple, “forget about what’s being said about me on social media and focus on my music.”
She has spoken out about the loss she’s faced over the past year and the impact her sister’s passing has had on her.
The singer has previously denied having an alcohol addiction. Speaking to MacG last year, she said she only started drinking to combat stress.
However, in 2019 Zahara was hospitalised for liver disease which was brought on by her excessive drinking.
According to reports a doctor urged her to stop drinking or her condition will worsen.
