A peaceful start to the next day gave Brenda the chance to reflect on the long road she’s walked to be where she is today.
“Life hasn’t always been glitz and glamour, and red carpets. I have had my fair share of the ups and downs of life. My mother is a domestic worker, so I was raised as a domestic worker’s daughter in Muizenberg, but I was always a product of the migrant labour system which meant that home was the Eastern Cape. Which meant that I am a product of the villages,” reveals the actress.
The quiet escape to the bush was the perfect opportunity to get to know Brenda better, and reflect on what’s most valuable in life.
“I’ve got lots of fans, and would like to say that I’ve traveled and been exposed to quite a lot, but I think what I’m most proud of is realising that internal peace costs nothing. When you’re out here, you realise that all you need to do is just learn the art of living and find peace and happiness,” shares Brenda of her outlook.
