I'm Not Your Weekend Special

'Like Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong and Miriam Makeba who disappeared but never died, Brenda's music will always be in our lives and we will smile when we think of her. Brenda's legacy will live forever. She left a big void in this world. I miss MaBrrr!!! South Africa will never be the same without her.' - From the Foreword by Hugh Masekela
This is a fascinating collection on the life and times of Brenda Fassie, which includes a Foreword by Hugh Masekela and contributions from people who knew Brenda in both professional and personal capacities. It is being published ahead of the tenth anniversary of her death and is intended as both a tribute and to give fresh insight into this beloved South African pop star.
The collection includes an array of stories, some more academic and others more personal in nature, but all written to shed light on the Brenda Fassie phenomenon.
Funny, crazy, poignant, insightful and tragic, the articles, stories and snippets of memory in I'm Not Your Weekend Special trace the highs and lows of Brenda Fassie's life. It pays tribute to and hails such an important icon not only in South Africa, but Africa and the world.
