Lebo's foster mom Nomvula dies
THE late Afro-pop diva Lebo Mathosa's foster mother Nomvula Mathosa is no more.
Nomvula was reported to have been found dead by her grandchildren yesterday morning.
Nomvula's son Peter says the family was shocked by her passing since she wasn't sick.
"The kids went to her room to check on her when they realised she wasn't waking up, only to come across her death," says Peter.
Nomvula was involved in a bitter legal fight with Mathosa's biological mother after the death of the singing sensation. But the two solved their problems and re-established a good friendship.
Two years ago, Nomvula accepted the inaugural Siyabakhumbula award, which recognises the contribution of dead artists in the entertainment industry.
Siyabakhumbula Awards organiser Mzwakhe Mbuli says he was saddened by her passing.
"It dampened my mood as the whole country is celebrating the ANC's 100 years anniversary," he says.

This was a lovely lady. She raised one of the best in the country. I hope she had a peaceful passing away. I wish my grandmother was like her.My grandmother hates my wife. She demands money from me every month end. She would pretend as if she misses me and ask me to visit her during month ends. Then the common denominator would be "MONEY". I wish my she could express her love for me as her grandchild.
