Today marks 20 years since South Africa lost the extraordinary Lebo Mathosa in a tragic car accident on 23 October 2006. A fearless performer, a trailblazer and one of the defining voices of Kwaito, she helped shape the sound of a generation. Gone too soon, but never forgotten. Thank you AI, for refreshing my 20 year old picture with her . 🕊️🇿🇦

Advocate Baloyi SC has criticised mainstream media for focusing primarily on major headlines.
She points to the current water crisis in Bronkhorstspruit as an example of an issue that deserves greater media attention.
