                                   IN LOVING MEMORY OF LEBO MATHOSA

Lebo Mathosa: greatest performer
in the South African music industry
Lebo Mathosa was one of the hottest female singers in South Africa. She was not only popular to her fans for her unique singing abilities but was also noticed for her professional dance acts and sexy look. Her music was a fusion of R&B, African music, dance and funk, that managed to set new standards in the local music industry.
Lebo started her career at the age of 15 as she joined the South African group Boom Shaka in 1994. She was and still is considered as the best performers after Brenda Fassie who was capable of putting smiles on her fans faces. She was a great performer who filled the seats at the arenas and concerts she was performing in. Fans didn’t complain about her performances, actually they pleaded her to stay on longer than she was expected to and to her producers surprise she was delighted to do so. Most of her performances were broadcasted nationally and internationally.
In 2000 she launched her solo career with her debut single Intro, a track that features on her debut solo album Dream. Four weeks after the launch of Dream, the album went Gold and in 2001 Lebo won Best Dance Album for Dream, Best Dance Single for Intro and Best Female Vocalist at the South African Music Awards. Besides the SAMA’s, Lebo won numerous awards and was nominated in many categories like the FHM Magazine as one of Africa’s sexiest women. She did also play a role in acting as she was featured in three most popular soapies; Generations, Backstage and Muvhango.
Sadly on the 23rd of October 2006 Lebo passed away in a car crash coming back from a performance. Her death touched so many people as they felt that she had better life ahead her than to die at the age of 29 years.  We will live to remember you and we know you are in a better place. The music industry is not the same without you.

    Everyday a star is born, but Lebo was a star shined brighter than the rest. He character still lives on through her music and live theatrical plays which actoresses like Khanyi Mbau acting as her. She will always be remembered, may her soul rest in peace...@MokD21
