Rest in Peace Brown Dash

The big star won the South African Music Association (SAMA) song of the year in 2005 for his song “Phantsi komthunzi welanga”. Dash performed at SAMA 2012. This was his last performance. We have lost a friend, brother and role model.

Here are some messages people have left on Twitter and Facebook:
