Singer Lebo Mathosa’s legacy lives on

ICONIC late singer Lebo Mathosa’s legacy is still being continued, 15 years after her death.

The Lebo Mathosa Foundation has partnered with a fashion brand, Monday to Monday, to launch limited T-shirts that will celebrate Lebo.

Printed on the T-shirts will be a picture of Lebo that was taken by renowned South African photojournalist Neo Ntsoma during the height of Lebo’s career.

According to the foundation, the image on the T-shirts was supposed to be released in 2007 but wasn’t.

“The image is originally from an unreleased collection of photos that formed part of what was meant to be a calendar to be released in 2007 in celebration of Mathosa’s 30th birthday. Fast forward 15 years, this dream comes into fruition through fashion celebrating Lebo Mathosa’s 44th birthday and her as an icon,” said the foundation.

“Presented on a white and black T-shirt, the print is served in monochrome with a powerful image of the singer in her signature blonde hair and bold style.”

The shirt was launched on her birthday, 17 July, and they are sold online for R499 and R599.

The foundation said a large portion of the sales will go to the Lebo Mathosa Foundation for their ongoing activities and operations.

Lebo’s brother, Tebogo Mathosa, who is the founder of the foundation, said they are excited about their new partnership that aims to celebrate Lebo’s 44th birthday.

“As a testament to the unwavering impact she had on the worlds of both fashion and music, we are super excited about this partnership with Monday to Monday. When their team approached the foundation about this collaboration, we felt it was a great fit to further celebrate her legacy on her 44th birthday,” said Tebogo.
