She joined a group as a singer and dancer and the group had other members like Sheeba, Jackie O, Daisy and Sharon O but she didn’t stay in the group for a long period because of management issues. After leaving the Obsessions Toto decided to revive her TV career and she did this by calling her friend Rose Mary who had joined Ntv as a news anchor. Rose Mary connected Zahara to the Late Steven who was the producer of the newly established program called T-nation. Zahara was the first presenter to present the famous T-nation program but in her senior four, she was introduced by the boyfriend and since the T-nation program was targeting the youth, Zahra could not continue doing the show because she had been married and she had turned out to be a mother.

She was later joined by Annatalia Ozzy who was her co-host of the show. >br< At the peak of Live Wire in 2018, Zahara and Annatalia Ozzy both decided to quit the show and the station to join Next Media services which were offering better salary and privileges to the duo. When they joined their new home the management came up with a new show called Uncut Kalakata which was going to air from Monday to Friday and it was going to be on both Nbs TV and Sanyuka TV. >br< This decision was right for Zahara Toto because it helped her to start her radio career since Next Media had a radio and she was given a show called The Lounge which airs on Next radio.
