In announcing his first ever live show in South Africa Lebo M bemoaned government's little support to the creative industry

Lebo M says there’s nothing to celebrate about what government has done for the creative industry in 30 years of democracy

In announcing his first-ever live show in South Africa in Cape Town, Lebo M said this was the perfect time for the announcement because the year 2024 has been significant in his life. “In the last 30 years, I think it’s the most disrespected . Artists have proven over and over again without resources, without governmental support and business because it’s not just government alone. I don’t think there’s much to celebrate yet,” he averred.

He mentions himself, Trevor Noah and Black Coffee as individuals competing at the highest level globally. “Very few people in the world become global success other than Americans and Europeans from their individual . They come from programs, some kind of funding or some system that the countries are passionate about. Our country is not in this aspect; in fact, we’ve become so comfortable with mediocre perception of success.”
