President Thabo Mbeki today expressed his deepest condolences to the family
of the late artist, Lebo Mathosa.
The President said Mathosa's untimely death constitutes a profound loss to
the entire nation as she was one of the path finders of post apartheid cultural
expression.
In this connection, the President called upon young South Africans to draw
inspiration from the positive contribution that Mathosa made to society. He
said Mathosa's vibrant and positive spirit illustrated by her work, is an
example of how young people can and must use their diverse skills and abilities
to contribute to the development of South Africa.
