Today, Lebo was honoured with a limited T-shirt collection that is a collaboration between emerging fashion designer Tshediso Mokoko and renowned photojournalist Neo Ntsoma.

Speaking to Sunday World, Tshediso said, “This collaboration was created at the end of 2019 but we were trying to figure out the best way to do it because of the restrictions caused by the pandemic. So, we got in touch with her family to ask for their blessings, so we continued on her legacy”.

“We didn’t just want to get an average photo that was on Google, so we got in touch with Neo Ntsoma. She shot this collection of pictures just before Lebo passed on. She was supposed to celebrate Lebo’s 30 birthday with a calendar and some of poetry that she used to write. So that never happened and we wanted to bring that to life using clothes.”

Speaking on behalf of the Lebo Mathosa Foundation, Mathosa’s nephew Tebogo said they were excited about the concept.

“It’s a great initiative, after all it’s been a while since she has been gone. I agreed for the project to proceed because as a family and foundation, we feel that she left a huge legacy with us and we have to continue with it. We look forward to working with Monday to Monday on other things.”

People have received Lebo's merch with love. Many said they definitely be buying it. Are you buying?
