Bongani Fassie to celebrate Brenda Fassie
Bongani "Bongz" Fassie is gearing up to honour one of South Africa's most celebrated musicians to date, Brenda Fassie.
The late singer lost her life on 9 May 2004 at just 39 years old. On the 20th anniversary of her death, her once-troubled son organised a show to celebrate her life and legacy - the Night of Stars.
Taking to his social media pages, Bongz shared event fliers where he's also expected to perform.
The show takes place on Thursday, 9 May 2024, at the Tycoon nightclub in Bryanston, Johannesburg. Bongz has not yet released a complete lineup, if any, but fans are looking forward to honouring MaBrr's legacy.
Bongani went into detail with Briefly News about how the event came about:
"Night with the Stars is a concept that was created many moons ago but has now changed to fit the celebration of my late mother. So, Night with the Stars has moved from me and my colleagues showcasing our talents, to celebrating my late mother, Brenda Nokuzola Fassie, the icon."
