Big Debate On Mzansi Twitter On Whether The Late Brenda Fassie Was A Great Singer

Brenda Fassie is dead but her legacy is very much alive. So it is inevitable that people should be talking about her long after the intrusion of transience.

Years ago, she was one of the notable voices in South African music – a voice many were willing to pay to hear. But she died young, robbing South Africa of that voice. Of course, she left enough songs to be remembered by.

But how good was the singer when she traverse the music plane in South Africa? How good was she as a musician? These questions formed part of a heated debate on Mzansi social media recently, as tweeps shared their thoughts about her contribution to South African music and the impact she made.

A Twitter user with the name Khumiso Wa Marimila sparked the debate with a tweet in which he noted that Brenda Fassie and Yvonne Chaka Chaka scammed South Africans into thinking they could sing.
