Understanding Brenda: Sindi Khambule's Honest Take

Sindi, who has also faced her own public struggles, shared her perspective on why Brenda turned to substances:
"Brenda was disrespected and bad-mouthed, but at the same time, the world admired her. I saw her as a deeply troubled soul, but also one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met.
