At other times, Bongani has managed to break through the mask and reveal the real Brenda Fassie, a reflective Zolani Mahola or a just-out-of-bed John Perlman.In the process he’s tried to work out what the thugs, dice-rollers, showbiz pimps, spiritual visionaries and other celebrated God-figurines have to offer the world. Beyond the genius, the arrogance, the foolishness, the fears, the jealousy and the madness, what is it that makes us worship them?
