Brenda Fassie - Black President

[@ChrisantosLuckystar]

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

This song makes me think about the reality of the pain that our people suffered during the struggle. My heart bleeds for those who shed their blood for the liberation we have today n to see how those who lead us are not mindful about their sacrifice.

Sis was from Langa in Cape Town, South Africa.... Langa was not a dwelling place but due to the apartheid government of having anterior motives they decided moving all Blacks from Ndabeni,Simon's town etc. They dumped those Blacks in Langa after building shelters for them (those houses they built were not able to accommodate our big families) but the material which was used was top grade,those houses still remain to this day

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.
