Brenda Fassie's son mesmerizes Malawians

Until when he apppeared on the stage for all the eyes to see, donning a T-shirt inscribed Ama, Kip Kip, nobody predicted that Bongani Fassie was the very son to the late South African prima donna Brenda who died in 2004.Bongani leading a group called Jozi stepped in with fellow popular South African Kwaito star in the name Ishmael of Avulekile fame and ruptured into fire the moment they touched the naked microphone to dish out the best of the rest.Brenda once appeared in Malawi in the 90's and her son's first appearance in Blantyre was an inspiration to all orphans as well as a great honour to the Mutharika family.It spoke volumes of his intimate feelings about death and orphanage when he consistently pointed on the words inscribed on his T-shirt in reference to her late mother's identities.Like mother like son, Bongani expressed himself better in his dancing antics when he wriggled his body as if he had forgotten his bones back in South Africa.

He was not a disappointment when he exited the stage with his mother's popular Vulindlela song while promising to come back. Vulindlela managed to rip through the patronage with wildest sing along as if it was Brenda herself doing it.In his speech at the intermittence of the songs Bongani urged people especially the youths to be united against pangs of orphanage which have muzzled the Africa region and turned it into a place of crisis."We thank organizers of the show for making it possible for us to interact in this big way, and our message is that of unity, we arerepresenting the whole of Johannesburg, South Africa," he said.
"We are 100 percent dancers, we express ourselves through the music we play and our dreams are to see the reduction in the problems which come due to orphanage in African community," said Bongani.Such was an event where 12 Television cameras flew around pointing at one spot, attracting Dstv's Channel O crew.Then came Kenyan Nameless who stole Malawi thunder, thudding like a bombclat.
