Brenda Nokuzola Fassie[2] (3 November 1964 – 9 May 2004)[3] was a South African singer, songwriter, dancer and activist.[4] Affectionately called MaBrrr by her fans, she is also known as the "Queen of African Pop", the "Madonna of The Townships" or simply as The Black Madonna. Her bold stage antics earned a reputation for "outrageousness";[5] ironically, her Xhosa name, Nokuzola, means "quiet", "calm", or "peace".
