According to a statement shared by Phil Mpela, a UK film company named Showbizbee has acquired the film rights to late superstar Brenda Fassie’s life story. A director by the name of Edward W. Shaw is reportedly currently working on the biopic which he will co-produce with Fassie’s son Bongani.

The production company’s statement says the film will be period comedy-drama. 😌🙂 Ohhhkay.

Anyway, the success of this project will rest on a strong script & lead. pic.twitter.com/D62rjHuSCm

As great as it would be to see Ngxoli in the role, South Africa is home to a number of talented actresses who could carry the role. Who gets your vote for the film which will reportedly be released in late 2018 or early 2019.
