Met in Cape Town in December last years - while my friends and I were on holiday. We all clicked as young black people with dreams - we had the best times of our lives in Cape Town. When we all came back to Joburg i had a chance to work with her on The Blackout Issue which came out awesome. She was an editor of True Love Babe and later became editor for Campus Times. She had love for Africa and traveling [recentely went to the Malawi Festival] and blogged about it. She was huge fan of studio83 magazine - she believed in the magazine when i wanted to throw in the towel. She also wrote the cover story to the Modern man - if you had the oppotunity to have met her you know the kind of cherecter she was, she had a beautiful soul,she was compassionate for others - she was a hard worker, a dreamer. She taught me alot - she taught me to love, care, believe, have faith, be, live for the moment, explore, to get out of your comfort zone - im sure God has a reason why he took her while she was soo young - Lelethu left behind her son [3] and her mother and brothers and sisters and friends who really loved her. May her soul rest in peace.
Robala Ka Kgotso - [24] Lelethu Lumkwana 1984 -2008
The time is right I'm gonna pack my bags And take that journey down the road Cause over the mountain I see the bright sun shinning And I want to live inside the glow
I wanna go to place where I am nothing and everything That exists between here and nowhere I wanna got to a place time as no consequence oh yeah The sky opens to my prayers
I wanna go to beautiful
Please understand that it not that I don't care But right now these wall are closing in on me I love you more than I love life itself But I need to find a place were I can breathe
I wanna go to place were I can hold the intangible And let of the pain with all my might I wanna go to a place where I am suspended in ecstasy Some where between dark and light Where wrong becomes right
I wanna go to beautiful
Hamba kahle Beautiful. Lala sisi. *sigh*
she will be missed! dearly.
Ga moya wa gagwe o phomole,
Robala ka kgotso Lelethu.
We worked together on an article for TLB. She was the youngest, most passionate, ambitious, beautiful writer and and and...She really loved Africa too.
She had dreams; BIG dreams and was starting an empre that I still believe she's running from up there still.
Let's just say I still have the last article she wrote for Courture Conversations.
Legends don't die, they just go elsewhere...
We miss you Lele!
I miss her so much, i loved her for that - she had BIG dreams - and she worked for on her dreams.
*i miss a girl
