Before the likes of Dineo Moeketsi, Bonang, Zizo Beda, and the like dominated the TV presenting world, there was also the likes of Caroline Fassie, who was an occasional presenter on Selimathunzi.
Caroline also had a stint on one of South Africa’s earliest talent shows, Shell Road To Fame. Yeah we just took it way back there.
Besides her presenting, Caroline was also known for her long braids that covered one side of her face. We vividly remember a rumour that claimed that Caroline covered her one side because she only had one ear. Hilarious!
After her Selimathunzi stint it seemed like Caroline Fassie disappeared from the entertainment industry for good, it was later on revealed that she worked at the SABC’s music department for a while.
Caroline Fassie was also the niece of the late Brenda Fassie. It was always a treat to see how well they both gelled on TV whenever Brenda Fassie appeared on Selimathunzi.
Apparently, Caroline Fassie also dabbled in music back in the 80s. One of her famous singles was called Tough Enough. Here’s the vinyl cover below.
It’s also great to see that some people are still paying homage to Caroline by remembering her trademark hairstyle.
My new hairstyle is such a blast from the past, #CarolineFassie blast from the past to be specific, I call it vintage ♥☺
