South Africa singer dies in car crash


One of South Africa's most popular singers, Lebo Mathosa, has been killed in a car crash.
Mathosa, 29, died when the driver of her car seemed to lose control on a motorway near Johannesburg.

She was one of the stars of Kwaito, a South African fusion of hip-hop, funk and traditional rhythms, and also appeared on local television dramas.

She was known for her dyed blonde hair and energetic shows, and her album Drama Queen topped the charts in 2004.

A police spokesman said Mathosa's car overturned and hit a tree.
