Not a Tupac and not a DMX. Just Zola. I'd be tempted to say that Tupac is America's Zola but I won't. Its the same war but on different battle fronts.

The "Utatakho" situation sounds very similar to Somizi's cook/dinner show and the guy who accused him of stealing his idea and had e-mails to prove it. Big ups to Zola for standing up for that kid.

Zola really is an icon living and full of wisdom. He is not you're typical music artist he yearns for knowledge always and seems to pass it down every chance he gets. May we celebrate and appreciate him more.

Zola is like an African mystic. Out of his mouth flow the streams of wisdom. This is a man who ponders deeply on every word he says. I pray I get to meet him in my lifetime

We love MacG for giving Zola 7 his flowers while he is still alive.❤🥺

I’m only 22, grew up on this guy’s music as a kid.. funny thing is I’ve never watched any of his interviews but i can tell he’s what he preaches in his music, a very smart man too and nobody is perfect but mane i really love that he acknowledges that.. long live to Bongikosi., i wish to meet him one day.. and ever since i took this path of being a music artist myself I’ve been longing to have a man to man conversation him just to get some game.. wish that dream comes true.. either than that I’m forever giving him his flowers while he’s still alive... and may he find peace from whatever that they put him through, i never had an idea that they manipulated him this much.. let alone that there’s people that hate him because of what the media said about him.

Zola has got a lot of life in his eyes. He’s got fire in his eyes. That’s a good, good thing.

Zola (Quoting John Schaar) "The future is not some place we're headed, but one we're creating; and the path to it changes both the maker and the destination" 🐐🐐

2008 was my first year in JhB and at UJ, met Zola at campus square PNP and I was with my mom. We went up to him, he gave us his 5min and was very nice. Till to date my mother remembers how humble and normal he was.

He Rocked Bulawayo for some years we have a vip corridor for him in our town He's got a special place in our hearts He's our Legend He could unite all the Ngunis through his music He part of our southern African music history big up Big guy #Let's support Zola # EZASE NTUMABE KWA NTUTHU"

That man got the jewels...I always considered him our South African 2pac because he embodied every great thing pac did(Music, acting, positive, man of the people)...everything he touched turned to gold let's honor this man

I came across this post on my Facebook and I thought I should share it with chillers . Izolo lokhu You were making people's dreams come true. You fed the needy with your kids money. You travelled countries representing South Africa as a servant, leaving abo Mvelo, Lwandle, Bhambatha, Nyezi emuva with no one protecting your family against all odds. You cried daily when you heard stories of infants whom are not being taken care of. You stood up and influenced big Companies like Cell C to help You feed the needy and the orphans. You made dreams come True with your show Zola 7 ,You left Your mother waya emazweni... You took out money from your own pocket and paid school fees of girls from Tanzania ( Dara Salam) who were prostitutes and they changed since that day to become an asset to that country. You represented South Africa in African Countries until you were honoured by the Shakur family as the 2pac wase Mzansi. Nkosi sikelela I Africa if this is how we going to honour and celebrate our heroes downfall... Zola I believe in you I'm sure the whole South Africa do believe in you, I don't care what the media is saying about you. This is not a downfall to you.. This is a temporary set back. You'll bounce back.I'm singing your song "Ngizokulinda uzubuye cause you promise uzobuya Ngizokulinda uzubuye" .The devil and his people ngeke balunge. I'm singing your song "Qina ndoda ekhaya babheke wena". I wish Steve Biko was still alive to see this stupid journalist who celebrate the downfall of a black man... not just a man but a Hero to many.
