Bongani Fassie dedicated doccie to late mom Brenda

Muso and music producer Bongani Fassie announced a documentary, Through My Eyes, which focused on his life and paid homage to the late pop singer and songwriter Brenda Fassie.

The hip-hop star spoke about how his story was never told in detail when his legendary mother was discussed.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Fassie said, “The story has been told over and over again. The narrative has always been the same: when you talk about Brenda, we include Bongani. However, this time, the story is about Bongani, and it will include Brenda,” he shared.

What happened to Brenda's royalties?

Meanwhile, in 2024, Briefly News reported that Bongani's spending habits were placed in the spotlight as he was alleged to have blown his mother's royalties on nonsensical things.

According to The South African, Bongani received several payments, bringing the total R400K from Brenda Fassie's royalties. He allegedly spent the money in two months. Now, Bongani was alleged to be growing in debt and still failed to pay his kid's school fees.
