I'm a Nigerian I haven't been born when Brenda fassie started singing But I listened to her songs late 90s and early 2000 I swear I love Brenda till death

[@festusaghogho1246]

My fellow Nigerian well done. For me I will love her even in death and in the afterlife. I grew up with her songs. I was in senior secondary school when she died. My only regret now is I didn't get to see her while she was alive. She is my inspiration. Rest on our BRENDA

Brenda is a legend. I've often listened to her performances and love this song. There was one time many years ago I was dropping my girlfriend at the airport in Nairobi for a flight to Mombasa. Brenda and her band were on the flight. Brenda changed her seat to sit in coach class with the other performers, completely filling coach class. My girlfriend was bumped up to first class because of Brenda. What a kind soul she is. Brenda will forever be in my heart.

[@shanganjenda8556]

I still love her . ❤❤ From Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

[@josephkortuhoward7587]

I felt her music when a friend from South Africa who was part of their struggles visited me and I played her song(black president) her face on the bed and she cried silently, when I turned around, I saw real tears. I asked " why cry" she answered because of long painful struggles. I cried along with her. I alway cry when this music plays. I m From Liberia, West Africa.

Brenda was a real star she was a real female star in Africa . continue resting in peace Fassie. Love from Zambia .
