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.
I love the video she did bare breasted.

Remove masturbation from your list, its not a dangerous addiction like you claim.


In fact, 9 in every 10 men was once a masturbator if not 10 in every 10 men.



Masturbation is a natural phenomenon that has no correlation with drug addiction or alcoholism or other dangerous addictions.


Even animals masturbate, so remove that from your list

Oga stop this unnecessary justification. Go and talk to neuroscientists who examine brain scans daily and tell them that.
You can become addicted to almost anything that isn't a natural occurrence in your daily life. That mad dopamine spike that makes people abandon their senses is what you're here belittling.

Your message has good intentions but until you're in the shoes of certain people, u won't understand why they are addicted to certain things.... People fight alot of demons everyday both internal and external...... One of those demons is fear, anxiety and depression... To overcome these forces, people take and do all sorts of things and in the process become addicted.... I don't support addiction of any kind but if you see anyone addicted to anything, instead of judging or condemning them, go close to them and try to know the reason for their depression..... All u have told us is her bad habits.... Did u read about her life and growing up? Do u know what made her begin to do drugs? What if she was molested as a child and the memory of that made her go into drugs? Like I said, I am not justifying addictions but as someone who have experienced life, I'm telling you that, more than 70 percent of addictions are caused by personal struggles with / through life
thumbs up

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 April 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

Watch Brenda Fassie - Vulindlela (Live Performance at KORA2001)

Even Tina Turner would have ended up dead if she didn’t run away from her violent drug-headed husband.

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

He 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.
@The bolded is a case I usually tell friends..Before someone becomes addicted to drugs, alcohol and smoking...It is usually primed by something depressing.

They always think their addictions are easy way out.

I am still doing a small research work on causes of addictions..Probably this will pass as a material to prove some hypothesis.

Shr luve for only 39 years and untill today she is still remembered all over the world, so much so that she is the 15th most influential person in South Africa... God i beg you, i don't want to be a spectator on this earth make me also to luve a mark positively that the generation yet unborn will hear about.

Her death was a huge shock.

She adopted the boy who later fell in love with Whitney daughter, because she wanted her wealth to revolve around her family
