singer Masikane Sfiso is over the moon after finally meeting his crush, Zahara.
The Satma-winner from Nkomazi in Mpumalanga publicly proposed to the Sama-winning musician in 2013 and now he's in studio with her.
Speaking to SunBuzz, Masikane said he's ecstatic about finally meeting her.
"This is like a dream come true. People didn't have faith in me ever meeting Zahara. My love for her and her music has been public for years now, but people thought I'd never meet her.
"For her to leave her home to come to Mpumalanga was a big thing for me.
"I appreciate it and it's shown me I'm close to achieving my dreams," he said.

Masikane won the Best Siswati Album at the South African Traditional Music Awards in 2008 for his album, Phelaviki.
"Before winning, I wasn't really serious about doing music. It was only after I won that I realised I'm supposed to take it seriously as I clearly had a fan base that was serious about me and my music."
Masikane said he sings love songs and wedding tracks because of how he grew up.
"I enjoy singing about love as I see it encourages people to be better. My parents got separated when I was growing up and I know the pain that comes with that. I'm encouraging people to fall in love. I don't want people to go through what I went through."
He's working on an album, which will feature his track with Zahara.
"The album will feature the song we're pushing, titled Solala Emaweni. It's a wedding song about love," he said.
