I was in the rural home when I first heard this song as a boy. My mum used to go fetch water a distance away and would carry the 20litre bucket on her head, sometimes walking in the rain. This song opened my eyes to the plight of women in Africa...10km to fetch water...baby on her back...load on her head...daily...exposed to the elements...exposed to fatality...but driven by care and love and duty. Made me realise my mum deserved better. Unsung heroes for and of whom Brenda the hero sang. God bless her soul. God bless my mum's soul. 💕

This song is nostalgic, I remember how we grew up there was this other lady her name was also Brenda she would call us to come eat at her house because we had no food and on Christmas she made sure we ate good and would play this song a lot... May God bless her wherever she is

[@dorothythandeka5693]

One thing about my mom she wasn't a perfect mom but she tried😭🥺I still appreciate her effort day by day! She introduced me to Icon back in the days I was still in primary when she used to play me Brenda fassies album and I would cry when this song plays Because I would look at her and find it very sad that I was fed lies about her and told she was trash but in my eyes She was trying so hard💔😔she made mistakes which even today I'm saying it proudly I FORGIVE HER WITH ALL MY HEART ♥️ Funny thing is couple of days back I heard over the phone she was playing the very same CD of Mama Brenda😭❤(mind you it 2022)all I said was Thank you Lord she's still here with me with her imperfections shes Still my Queen 😭👑

Let's forgive everything and keep on. Family is family and mother is mother. Probably we won't understand what was behind her behavior. She thought it was a great decision at that moment. Let god lead our lives and soul's.
