Goodbye Brenda
Monday, May 11, 2009 at 10:34AM
It was the 5th anniversary of South African music icoon Brenda Fassie's death, and her family and friends came together in Langa township, outside of Cape Town, where Brenda grew up and went to school, to remember her.
The Queen of African Pop, nicknamed by her fans Mabrr, died on 9 May 2004 after she fell into a coma from a cocaine overdose.
It was an emotional but celebratory afternoon, with Brenda's older brother and one of Brenda's childhood friends movingly recalling her life, school girls from Langa High School dancing to Brenda's songs and her brothers' band, The Fassie Brothers, performing on stage.
