    Im sitting in Hong Kong Airport listening to this and have to control myself. Brenda was is the greatest female Azania ever produced. Her music, voice and do not care attitude inspires me. From her I learned dont give a fuck about what people think. Be yourself and dont suck up to people. May she ever be remembered. My fav.

    Oh she was incomproble..what an icon. I am an Afrikaans speaking European South-African residing in New Zealand, and I certainly know what an influence she had and still has on society and music. She was way ahead of her peers, and way ahead of her time, even in the South African context. I am proud to say that I am an endearing fan of Ms. Brenda Fassie. Brenda, you have special place in Heaven, and we all miss you dearly. R.I.P great lady! 👼👼🌹🌹

    Can we talk about the actors in this video and how talented they are? Even though they were all in their assigned spots where they stayed there and did not move from their marks, they still managed to deliver the emotions needed for one to 'feel' the tragedy.

    Ten kilometers barefooted in the bush
    Started raining on the way to fetch some water
    Poor woman had a baby on her back
    Was struck by lightning on her way
    To fetch some water
    She tried hiding under a tree to save her child
    Poor woman had no place to go
    Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
    Friends, relatives ran for her
    [Chorus]
    It was too late
    It was too late
    Too late for mama
    Oh no
    [Verse 2]
    Husband came running to the scene yeah
    Poor man held his dead wife in his arms
    Eyes full of tears, not believing the nightmare
    Knelt down and prayed for this, was a painful loss
    [Chorus]
    It was too late
    Too late for mama
    Oh mama mama, oh poor mama
    It was too late
    Too late
    [Verse 3]
    She tried hiding under the tree to save her child
    Poor woman had no place to hide
    Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
    Friends, relatives ran for her
    But it was too late, too late for mama
    [Chorus]
    Too late
    Too late for mama
    Oh mama mama
    Oh poor mama
    It was too late
    Too late
    Too late for mama... oh mama
    Mama with the little baby
    She's gone
    She's gone
    She's gone
    Oh poor mama
    It was too late

    I remember this day like it was yesterday.
    Forgot about it for years, and rediscovered it 2009.
    Cheers to memories.
