They do everything they can to live up to the society’s expectations of having it all. Most celebrities forced to live that luxurious life even when zeros start to subside on their bank accounts.

Below is the list of late South African celebrities who passed on poor like they never made anything in their lives. Hope this works to help young and upcoming stars to make something of their lives.

Senyaka Kekana

Kwaito legend and hitmaker Senyaka Kekana died after a two-week stay in hospital. Kekana apparently complained of sinuses, suddenly felt sick and was taken to a hospital in Vereeniging. Kekana was in the hospital for two weeks before dying.

Brenda Fassie

Brenda Nokuzola Fassie was a South African anti-apartheid Afropop singer. Affectionately called MaBrrr by her fans, she was sometimes described as the “Queen of African Pop”, the “Madonna of The Townships” or simply as The Black Madonna.
