Hello guys. So I was working on a project recently, and came across the heartbreaking story of a dead South African celebrity known as Brenda Fassie. I decided to write this to discourage more people out there to do away with bad addictions.

So, Brenda was quite talented as a singer and songwriter, and her talents helped her to the top of her career. Unfortunately, she became addicted to drugs. It was so bad that a report stated that she blew away more than R10-million, courtesy of her addictions. At some point, she had to write off six of her cars, including a Mitsubishi Pajero worth R300,000 and R280,000. The Pajero was believed to have been taken by drug lords, and it disappeared without trace.

It was also revealed that she made attempts to stop her drug habit, and she checked in at rehabilitation centers 30 times, spending up to R300 000. Unfortunately, she died in May 2004, and the post-mortem report revealed that she had taken an overdose of cocaine the previous day before she gave us the ghost. Her addictions damaged her completely.

Just imagine the very first time she tasted cocaine. She would probably have been excited, thinking she just found a new adventure that's pleasurable. Only if she knew that was the beginning of her slavery to what will kill her...

Some of you reading this right now might be addicted to something dangerous too. It might be alcoholism, smoking, prostitution, masturbation, stealing, porn, clubbing, gambling, womanizing, etc. Listen, you have to make a decision to stop, hence it will damage you one day.

I know some of you have been trying to stop doing those dangerous things you are addicted to, but it seems you just can't help yourself. Well, truly, you can't help yourself. That's why I will recommend that you give God the wheel of your life to enable Him help you

How? By getting closer to Him in an intimate relationship. How? By embracing Jesus as LORD and Saviour, and deciding to live according to His dictates. Indeed, JESUS won't fail you.

For those of you that just started doing something bad, you better stop immediately, before you get addicted to it. It might appear as if you are having fun (you might even think you can always control it), but in the blink of an eye, it becomes an addiction, and turned you into its slave - making you a miserable person before finally destroying you.

If you want to get addicted to anything, thenget addicted to good things that will help you. Get addicted to the things of God (studying the Bible, praying, etc). Get addicted to learning good and productive things.

Finally, to anyone still under the yoke of a brutal addiction, you are free in Jesus Name Amen

Brenda Fassie.....


Once you discover your Purpose of existence, you can't be addicted to any nonsense....


May God not leave us

I actually was told that it was Spaghetti that killed her.

Infact we did not eat Spaghetti for weeks.

You're now saying it was cocaine.

Which one will I believe.

I knew this was gonna make FP. Eleda mi ma sun.

Back to the topic. Flee from every form of immorality and addiction.

The end is always disastrous.

May the forces always be in your favor.

May the winds continually be behind your sail.

Oh my dear Brenda!
I loved the woman, her energy was amazing

I really liked her then. So energetic in her videos and performances on stage.

I bought almost all her albums in the early 2000 and was always blasting it in the office.

My favorite of her songs are
Wedding day
Mi do do do la do ti
Tender care
And her hit song in yr 2000. Vulindulela. In fact, I love all her songs. Including the one she did with magic system " Matilsso".

Her death shook the world because she had fans all over.

Yeah I do. I watched her "mi do do" song a lot as a child. I grew up and continued buying her albums.

Her addiction ( according to reports then ) was as a result of her baby daddy whom she loved so much but got dumped by him.

Who wouldnt like Brenda? She was a great artist..

I knew whitney in my sec school days. I think Brenda died before her or so.

Whitney's daughter too died of the same drugs. Don't know what has become of her adopted son now. This life though.

Growing up with turntables then....."It's your wedding day" by Brenda Fassie was huge. The golden era when SA musical artistes ruled the continent.
