As we close off Women's Month, we continue to celebrate South African women who are and were active agents of change and social transformation.
One such woman is the late Brenda Nokuzola Fassie, who was born on 3rd of November 1964 in Langa, a township near Cape Town.
She was named after the American country singer Brenda Lee.
The daughter of a pianist, Brenda began singing to her mother's accompaniment at a very young age, and already at the age of five she had tourists paying to hear her sing.
Her first recording was made in 1983 with the hit single "Weekend Special", which became the fastest-selling record at the time.
In the late 1980s, she began working with producer Sello "Chicco" Twala, a partnership that proved to be one of the most successful in the South African music business.
Joining us this morning to talk about the late icon is her son and an artist in his own right, Bongani Fassie, and legendary musician, composer and producer Chicco Twala.
