Lala Ngoxolo Brown Dash

Oh wow…. this has just been one of those moments in life when I hear something and pray “God, let it not be true.” but it is true, Brown Dash is no more and the industry has suffered a big loss.

To me, Brown Dash defined the true essence of what Kwaito is and even after a long absence, his contribution on Spikiri’s Ngeke Balunge proved to me that Kwaito as I know and love it will never be dead.

When I saw Brown Dash and how he looked at the SAMAs, my heart sank. I quickly searched for a picture I had taken with him when I met him for the first and only time at the 2011 SAMA Nominees Party at Monte Casino. I put up the picture as my Twitter avatar and it was my way of telling God that we still need him, I’m still a fan, I still wanna hear more of his voice, please spare him! And I’ve had that picture on till yesterday morning, I removed it on the day he died. I know it’s silly but maybe I shouldn’t have.

I don’t think I have ever cried over a celebrity’s death before, but I shed tears for Brown Dash and I really wish he had been given another chance. He was so young, and Ngeke Balunge demonstrated that he still had so much to give. Still had more hits to make and I’m so sorry that he is gone. I wish I could have done more to show my appreciation for his talent and the music he made.

My prayers are with his family and his friends.

Those who helped to nurse him in his last days, those who went with him to Sun City and made sure he wore beautiful clothes up on that stage, and those who supported him and allowed him to get on that stage and perform for us one last time, Thank You and may GOD BLESS YOU.

Thank you Sphiwe Mpamile for the beautiful music. Your love of Kwaito and your dedication to the arts will never be forgotten.

Thank you for Phansi Ko Mthunzi We Langa, one of my favourite songs of all time and one that will remain a classic for decades to come.

Rest In Peace Brown Dash

    Yoh Lelo, wazewangikhalisa ekuseni. I’ve also never cried over the death of a celeb, mara Brown Dash really touched me with his music. Pure talent wasted bcoz of selfish record labels. Mxim

    Alale ngoxolo ubeyisibusiso to the SA music industry, mores especially to us who love kwaito. I love his collaboration with Ntando ethi Mgezeni umntanam I will always love that song. Lala ngoxolo dash

  5. Naomi on Thu, 10th May 2012 7:46 am 

    Such raw talent!! RIP Brown Dash man!! Se vum-vum will always be one of my favourite songs :)

    shame on every single person who went onto Twitter/facebook yesterday and made fun of his appearance at the samas and cause of death!!why re thabela go bona motho o mongwe gaa le mo mathateng? Rona batho ba bantsho re yang mara? If it were a person of any other race, they would have started di trust funds offering any form of help for those he leaves behind. Rona instead te dutse ko di internet re tshegisa ka ngwana o mongwe?

  6. folksister on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:03 am 

    I am also saddened by the passing of such a young star. Obviously God had a greater plan for him. May his soul rest in peace and may his legacy live on long after his death through his music.

    Lala ngoxolo.You are in a better place.

  7. sk1 on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:04 am

    Yho this is sad :( Was honestly hoping he’d recover..actually though and believed he’d be well again!

    He was talented, made good music..eish mara death! At least God shared him with us..

    RIP Brown Dash *sobs*

  9. PurpleReign on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:05 am 

    OMG! The way I cried, when I heard the news last night. I remember in back in high school my friends used to tease me, coz I had a HUGE crush on Brown Dash. They just couldn’t understand why, I loved him, and I was so heartbroken when I saw his performance the past week on the SAMAs. He truly was a talented artist and his music will forever be a part of us.

  10. Mapakisha on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:09 am 

    Shame man, may his soul RIP…

  11. Kusihlwa on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:10 am 

    RIP Brown Dash…..”Sondela ngikugibeli’ivooom vooom, voom voooom” I hope he is riding it to haven.

  12. dejane on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:11 am 

    My favourite song of his is ‘Phants’Komthunzi we langa’..that song gives me goosebumps..What a loss..

  13. Nkey.. on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:15 am 

    Aw!!! Smakade sezulu!! :( thought he was recovering.Was so happy that he was performing last week.Kubuye kwathini bakithi.

    May his soul RIP a loss indeed

  14. Noance on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:16 am 

    I remember the first time I met him in 2010 at an SAB function in PTA. We were chilling with him behind stage and all. There was a spark about him, something that made him stand out. He was a charmer indeed and ladies were just drawn to him. He was nice and polite and I liked that about him.

    I guess we all choose different roads or sometimes roads are chosen for us. Either way God makes no mistakes and He remains a faithful God.

    Lelo we all want people we love to stay with us forever but sometimes we want that out of selfishness. Maybe He was ready to rest, Lord knows how his last days were.

    Robala Ka Kgotso Brown Dash.

  15. muntuza on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:21 am 

    OMG Lelo you just brought me to tears with this piece.. Especially reading his government name, I realised I didn’t even know his name before today.. To me he was talented Brown Dash who made awesome kwaito hits and kept us dancing for all those festive seasons.. But actually, he was also Sphiwe, a son, brother, friend, and maybe father.. May his soul rest in eternal peace, hopefully he will drop bigger hits and keep angels dancing. We have his music, it will forever be in SA music classics. So sad about his passing, he really did have much more to offer. *sniff sniff*

  16. Eyh2Jee on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:21 am 

    Yhini na Noswekile; this was a great piece,I saw the pic on Twitter; I zoomed it,lol, I was laughing for day :(
    but yah neh *Robala ka kgotso ngwaneso*

  17. Botshelo on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:24 am 

    mara when i saw him looking like Jabu wa malaika ko SAMA, I knew ndoda must run to Bara fast, pity it was late.
    I bet o bolaile ke stress sa anniversary ya leso la mosadi wa hae, akere sowetan e re she died last may…..asazi, or maybe ke ntlo ya ko Vereniging (SP)

  18. shybear on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:28 am 

    Eish ya ne,i life injalo we puff n puss, n indlela yethu sonke le may ur soul rest in peace Brown Dash,

  19. Botshelo on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:33 am 

    when i saw him looking like Jabu wa malaika ko SAMA, I knew ndoda was not fine…..asazi, or maybe ke ntlo ya ko Vereniging (SP)

    This is sad to us young people, the sa government and the music industry, what did we do when we saw he needed help?
    nothing.
    just speculations.
    Now he is gone.
    Who knows what would have happened had we tried to support him, at the time we realised that he needs it!

  20. Leungo on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:36 am 

    I keep wondering who made the decision to let him go to the Samas even though it was obvious that the guy should be at home, taking care of his health instead of being out at night in the cold.

    Mara what can we say, it’s always sad when one dies, regardless of the circumstances. Let’s hope that other musicians are taking care of themselves. Our people are dying like flies these days man, it’s not on.

    “Iparty enjani le, ha ena spinza, ha e na bantwana…ke mickey mouse”

    We will remember those witty lyrics. RIP!!

  21. Leungo on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:42 am 

    @Botshelo

    What could we do?

    Ene as the person who was obviously ill what did he do?
    What did his family do?

    We were not part of his inner circle, we were just fans and he was an adult who knew what to do.
    Yes it is sad that he is gone, but he must have known for some time that he was ill. State hospitals provide free medical treatment that you and I and the rest of the SA working class pay for so he should have taken advantage of that.

    I just hope the family wont come out now and ask for assistance with his burial like it normally happens when some artists die, that would be too sad.

  22. kimmo on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:43 am 

    phanzi kwe mthunzi welanga was the best for me, loved this guy!may god bless his soul!

    RIP Brown Dash,Its funny how people only recognize your talent once you are gone,this happens everywhere, I had no idea that Brown Dash was loved this much, Only saw it yday on FB and Twitter.Its really sad!!

  27. nana on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:49 am 

    Beautiful piece…May he find peace in his eternal rest!! Phans’ Komthunzi welanga was my ultimate favorite.

    Can the “doctors” stop with their pathological reports..It doesnt matter..he’s gone. Just celebrate his life and close the chapter.

  28. Mathaz on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:50 am 

    Eish ja neh…death is painful shem, it does not matter if you knew the late or not, it is just sad..what a way to go though, the SAMA performance. So many of us live and die without living our dreams. I am glad that he had that last performance frail or not.

    Excuse my ignorance I know absolutely nothing about this guy just downloaded one of his songs not my cup of tea I’m not being insensitive just brutally honest, but the way you guyz talk about him I’m really feeling sad infact my eyes were tearing up when I read this piece. May he find eternal peace!

  31. Eyh2Jee on Thu, 10th May 2012 8:52 am 

    I just found this beautiful for BS …just to console her ngale ndaba yokushonelwa by Brown Dash ;)

    Ths is very sad shame. Bt I’m glad tht he got to live hs dream by making music tht ws in his heart. He fulfilled his purpose guys by reviving kwaito ‘n got us all dancing ‘n I’m also glad tht he got to be on stage again. I’m sure tht was his dream.
    Rest in peace Browndash. Luv ‘n lite!

    Robala ka kgotso Brown Dash.

    Nkey’s comment took the words out of my mouth. i thought him performing on stage and all dressed up was a sign of his turning point to recovery. May his family find comfort in the Lord and support from those who loved him too.

  35. Twitter on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:25 am 

    Very sad indeed. May his soul rest in peace. Yini bethunana Brown Dash, sophinda siculelwe ngubani “Phantsi komthunzi welanga”… Izolo abantu kuTwitter behlekisa ngalaPic yakhe yeSAMAs, eish kodwa abantu be2na.

  36. Mapakisha on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:29 am 

    You know this morning Unathi Msengana was talking about the rude & horrible things people said on twitter after seeing Brown Dash at the SAMAs, i coiuldn’t help but think JC is another platform that people used to say whatever they wanted about him thinking they were funny. Guys no one is special, let us not discriminate & treat people that aren’t well. Our words have so much power, more than we realise. For all we know he could’ve been reading our comments & that could’ve led him to thinking there’s no hope & he simply gave up.

    Just remember, it could be you one day.

  37. Koeks on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:29 am 

    OMG!My heart is bleeding.The crush I used to have on him when growing up,he was my ideal “Bad Boy”.I had a privilege to chill with him nabo 51cent,Billy Majaivane,Izinyokanyoka the time they used to rock every festival…..
    May his soul RIP.

  38. busidiko on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:31 am 

    REST IN PEACE BROWN DASH. Thought you were on the road to recovery. Uhambo lwakho lusothusile. #THE BEST OF KWAITO!

    @Pakzin Well said ngwaneso :(

  40. lolo on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:41 am 

    @Pakzini ende struu mara neh?

    On the same topic, all the people who are laughing @ his plight are idiotic. AIDS can happen to anyone, as long as you don’t have 24 hour surveillance on you sexual partner you are at risk…Obviously there are some people who engage in ridiculously risky behaviors…

    If BD really died on AIDS I hope he had fun acquiring the disease, I hope he had wild, unforgettable, toe- curling, tongue-speaking sex! I would be pissed if I got AIDS from a single boring source! Tjo

  41. manny on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:42 am 

    @mapakisha akere i was reprimanding some lady here who said “dash olelekiswa he hearse” like WTF
    THIS ISH AINT FUNNY AND AND IT SHOULDNT BE TREATED AS SUCH
    some people are just old ka dijara fela …brains they have not

  42. lolo on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:49 am 

    Whenever I see people dying of AIDS especially women it breaks my heart! Imagine someone infecting you with AIDS kanti they have never even made you climax ???? I would sue shem!

  43. DrDee on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:55 am 

    So true @mapakisha dear.I think this thing of laughing and pointing fingers at sick people is so ten years ago,becoz now I think we all in one way or another have been affected by Aids.@lolo hugs babes.

  44. kimmo on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:56 am 

    @mapaks, you know i was actually thinking the same thing hore what if this poor guy read some of this pathetic comments aboout him, so what if he was hiv positive? whats if he had cancer, was he gonna be treated the same way NXA smh

  45. manny on Thu, 10th May 2012 9:57 am

  48. X-FUCKTOR™ on Thu, 10th May 2012 10:06 am 

    || Heaven or Hell, wherever this Soul is going it’s gonna be a ball At some point I had a boy-crush on him back in 2005.

    Death at a young age is very tragic. The thought of dying w/ those unfulfilled goals and aspirations is sad.

    May GOD be w/ His Family though this passing storm.

  49. Biskiti on Thu, 10th May 2012 10:08 am 

    What a waste, such A talented person! Rest in Peace Brown Dash, your music will forever live on**humming Phants’ ko mthunz’ we langa**

    With the niceties out of the way, I hope that his death is not in vain, that his fellow colleagues in the industry, his fans and people in general realise kuthi kuyafiwa ngaphandle. That we need to love and value ourselves so much that we will practise safe sex or abstain from it, care for our health whether sick or not. Again i pray kuthi no one was so star-struck to drop their panties for him ko Sun City.

    Then Mina Nawe said “Pure talent wasted bcoz of selfish record labels. Mxim”. What are you implying lana sisi?

    Hahaha haaa haaa LOLO, trust you to cover that angle. Mara it is extremely sad to see a faithful wife die from AIDS because of her husband’s infidelity. That is the greatest tragedy.

  50. LadyMillion on Thu, 10th May 2012 10:10 am 

    We all loved him but God loved him more :(

  52. X-FUCKTOR™ on Thu, 10th May 2012 10:12 am 

    || @FolkSister: People who don’t know the plans that GOD has for them often die prematurely w/ nothing to show that they once lived. Brown Dash died w/ little social influence to His name. It’s like He was never a star. This is NOT and was NEVER GOD’s plan for Dash to die worse off than an ant.

  53. Mapakisha on Thu, 10th May 2012 10:14 am 

    I rememeber Manny & she said something like wena o spokesperson, or some other crap like that. Batho baa phapha, are itlhokomeleng that’s all. Le Mandoza ntse ho buiwa ka yena & a whole lotta other people, i’m just saying inxeba lendoda alihlekwa, karma is a trick!!

    Condolences to his family. I hope they find the strength and courage to move on with their lives.

    Its really hurts when ur loved ones pass away and you have to deal with people speculating about cause of death.Its too much for anyone :(

    I wish people would stop speculating cos its too much for anyone to deal with a loss and the public asking unnecessary questions.

    @ Blindfold what you are saying is true I have a friend who never reach orgasm.shes 2 with twins.Told her to excesize her clit by touching herself but still that does’nt help.Mind you she has twins banang le 6 alredy.

  58. folksister on Thu, 10th May 2012 10:23 am 

    @Xfuctor, I really can’t say whether he had a social or whatever sort of influence, but all I know is that we have a whole blog dedicated to him.

    I didn’t know him personally, so I really can’t comment as to whether he knew what Gods plans was for him.That is something that runs deeper than what we saw on TV. Though I still say it was his time and God had a bigger plan.

    May his soul still rest in peace.

    I will NEVER make fun of sum1 who has AIDS cos I’ve seen how terrible that thing is in my own family. We buried 3 people in 1 year cos of it. Any1 can get so ungathi uhleka uBrown kanti uzihleka wena.

    Out of silentville to say: Hamba Kahle Brown baba. You were truly talented and we know that although you are gone, ur contribution made in the kwaito industry will never be forgotten. Your last perfomance will play in our minds for a long time coz when you came on that stage I felt the SAMAs come alive… Ngeke Ba Lunge!!!!!

    @X-FUCKTOR aka Joneigh Galaxy “seize the moment what not”, you are very right dear, People really don’t know the plans that GOD has for them and they never bother to enquire from Him- the Giver of life.
    yes, RIP Brown Dash. as for the rest of us who are still alive, i say: “Lungis’ ndaba yakho noJesu. KHONAMANJE” coz you might be next.

    @ Miranda there’s nothing much to do nana.when i read 1st sentence my black scuff that I bought from Edgars came to my mind.It stoped after a year or so relaxer sisazovuthuka.even if you wash it with other dark stuff and next time you do washing you start with white stuff in the machine.Those fluffs will be all over the white stuff.So careful.It’s not even R100.00 only nna I paid R140,00 somewhere there.But it’s nice and warm hey…
    Sadly I left mine emakhaya when I went to attend my Uncle’s funeral.

    ohhe mhlaba kawunoni, zofa izinsizwa kosala izibongo.

    i wonder how much are the clothes he was wearing during samas worth coz iglove ya michael jackson was sold for $350 000.

    kodwa ngabona indlela ayebuka ngayo during ama samas ukuthi usebuka ngale kwelamathongo. indlela yethu sonke le!

  88. Miranda on Thu, 10th May 2012 2:41 pm

  89. Luyah on Thu, 10th May 2012 2:57 pm 

    Rest in peace Brown Dash, alwehlanga lungehlanga!!

  90. posh on Thu, 10th May 2012 2:59 pm 

    RIP Brown Dash. I actually think its good that his friends were there for him till the end and allowed him to perform. I believe he was going to die anyway…at least he spent his last days doing what he loved…

  91. kimmo on Thu, 10th May 2012 3:00 pm 

    miranda so youll rather get fluff remover than a new scarf?? TJO

  92. phlydivaZee on Thu, 10th May 2012 3:06 pm 

    Thank you JC fam. May God bless you all. Happy Birthday Makgotso.. @Monei,naye us’ke wanqaba too much (Mapaputsi)

  93. Soweto23 on Thu, 10th May 2012 3:22 pm 

    What a beautifully written tribute. So heartfelt! Thanks Lelo! Brown Dash got the opportunity to record his own CD, and like any other young person with dreams and hopes, he gave it his all and did his best! I’m just reminded me of a song by Nina Simone: To be young, gifted and black. I love the part where Nina says: “We must begin to tell our young, there’s a world waiting for you, your’s is the quest that’s just begun!” I take nothing from him as a person and I remember him as a person of passion and great talent who left us too soon!

  96. kimmo on Thu, 10th May 2012 3:46 pm 

    nkey they seem like a lot of work

  97. lwandie on Thu, 10th May 2012 4:04 pm 

    Sad loss indeed for such a young talent,his sound was the closest thing to the original Kwaito.

    Like @posh,Im glad he attended the SAMAS and did what he loved doing one last time,the shame is really on those who chose to spoil that memory for him by ridiculing his appearance to gain what ever cyber-cred nonsense they get from annonymous beings.

    HIV or no HIV,Life is for living and not hiding away in some dark corner.Those who have ever lost anyone in their lives that they really care about will know that ultimately death is death whatever the cause and the pain you will feel will be the same which ever way,…May his family and friends be comforted x

  98. Miranda on Thu, 10th May 2012 4:18 pm 

    Yes,ke mosebetsi but I will have to deal for now…until the day I find myself walking in the mall with nothing to do-which never happens.

  99. lolo on Thu, 10th May 2012 4:30 pm

  100. Makgotso on Thu, 10th May 2012 10:37 pm
