Brenda Nokuzola Fassie (3 November 1964 – 9 May 2004) was a South African singer, songwriter, dancer and activist. 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";[4] ironically, her Xhosa name, Nokuzola, means "quiet", "calm", or "peace".

Brenda Nokuzola Fassie was born in Langa, Cape Town on 3 November 1964,the youngest of nine children. She was named after the American singer Brenda Lee.Her father died when she was only two years old; with the help of her mother, a pianist, she soon started earning money by singing for tourists.

When she was 16 years old in 1981, she received a visit by Hendrick "Koloi" Lebona. As a result, she left Cape Town for Soweto, Johannesburg, to seek her fortune as a singer. Fassie first joined the vocal group Joy (filling in for one of the members who was on maternity leave)and later became the lead singer for a township music group called Brenda and the Big Dudes. She had a son, Bongani, in 1985 by a fellow Big Dudes musician. She married Nhlanhla Mbambo in 1989, but the pair divorced in 1991. Around this time she became addicted to co***ne and her career suffered as a result.

With very outspoken views and frequent visits to the poorer townships of Johannesburg, as well as songs about life in the townships, Fassie enjoyed tremendous popularity. She also used her music to oppose the apartheid regime in South Africa. In 1989, she released the song "Black President" as a tribute to Nelson Mandela, a political prisoner and later the first Black president of South Africa. Known best for her songs "Weekend Special" and "Too Late for Mama", Fassie was dubbed "The Madonna of the Townships" by Time magazine in 2001.

In 1995, she was discovered in a hotel with the body of her lover, Poppie Sihlahla, who had died of an apparent overdose. Fassie underwent rehabilitation and got her career back on track. However, she still had drug problems, and returned to drug rehabilitation clinics about 30 times in her life. From 1996 on she released several solo albums, including Now Is the Time, Memeza (1997), and Nomakanjani?. Most of her albums became multi-platinum sellers in South Africa; Memeza was the best-selling album in South Africa in 1998.

Raw veganism is a type of veganism that involves consuming only plant-based foods that have not been cooked or processed above a certain temperature, typically around 118°F (48°C). The raw vegan diet typically consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains, and is based on the principle that raw foods are more nutrient-dense and beneficial for health than cooked foods. Raw vegans believe that heating food above a certain temperature can destroy important enzymes and nutrients, and that consuming raw plant-based foods can lead to improved digestion, weight loss, and increased energy levels. While the raw vegan diet can be a healthy way to eat, it requires careful planning and attention to ensure that all nutrient needs are met.

Hail or hailstorms are not uncommon in Botswana, as mentioned on October 30, 2023, and another on November 19, 2015. A 2020 storm destroyed hundreds of windows of cars and homes and killed cattle.

Exercise can be an effective tool for managing both mind and back pain. Engaging in regular physical activity has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, which can contribute to the development and exacerbation of back pain. Exercise also helps to strengthen the muscles that support the back, which can alleviate pain and prevent future injuries. It is important to choose exercise that is appropriate for your fitness level and specific back condition, and to start slowly and gradually increase intensity. Incorporating mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing or meditation during exercise can also help to reduce stress and improve overall mental health.
