The country remembers Brenda Fassie

by Bongiwe Tshiqi

Brenda Fassie tragically passed away 12 years ago, leaving a huge void in SA music. Here at Bona, we’re commemorating her incredible talent through her music here.

Meanwhile fans from across the country have been sharing condolences, memories and their favourite songs via social media. Here are  just a few.
