After coming under fire for what people thought was her reaction to Somizi storming out of Grace Bible Church over a homophobic sermon, Zahara clarifies her statement on gay people and the Bible.
The singer says her statement which read, “Guys you go to church and read the same Bible you brought yourself. So don’t be choosy when in comes to your sins. Go write your own Bible” was not directed at anyone. Zahara says she wasn’t even aware of Somizi’s story.
“I was making a statement that referred to myself. I am currently on holiday at my village in the Eastern Cape and didn’t even know about Somizi walking out of the church,” she told Tshisa Live.
Zahara says her statement was not directed to anyone despite popular belief. “I don’t care whether you’re gay or not. I just made a statement. I am a church person and I just wanted to tell people that when you go to church don’t be stupid.”
She later shared a photo collage of herself with some of her favorite gay people on Instagram.
