“Someone switched off my mom’s respirators.” This shocking claim comes from Bongani Fassie, the son of the late South African music icon Brenda Fassie.
Twenty years after MaBrr’s death, Bongani revealed in a Newzroom Afrika clip that the investigation into his mother’s untimely death remains unresolved.
He also stated, “What everyone read that she (Brenda Fassie) died from substance abuse is not true.”

In an exclusive interview with Briefly News, Bongani asserted that no new evidence has surfaced, but his statements are based on facts.
The publication quoted Bongani as saying that Brenda’s respirators were switched off by family representatives.
He also discussed how her death deeply affected him, candidly addressing his struggles with depression and drug abuse on the TV show Moja Love, according to The South African.
The music producer has frequently found himself embroiled in controversy and headlines.
Brenda Fassie, affectionately known as MaBrr, died on May 9, 2004, at 39.
She passed away in a Johannesburg hospital two weeks after suffering a fatal asthma attack that led to cardio-respiratory arrest.
MaBrr’s hits, such as “Vuli Ndlela,” “Weekend Special,” and “Too Late For Mama,” are etched into the memories of many South Africans, and her legacy continues to be celebrated.
