Johannesburg – BET Africa is in search of a talented actress to take on the role of iconic SA singer Lebo Mathosa for their new series The Lebo Mathosa Story

The drama series will tell the story of "how a young, shy and ambitious girl transformed herself into a power house in the music industry at the height of the country's social transition," a press release explains.

"Bringing Lebo Mathosa's biopic to the streets and screens of South Africa is an example of BET's commitment to celebrating black excellence and culture. Lebo was a pivotal voice of her generation and her legacy continues to inspire. It's about time we share her untold story with audiences across the continent," vice president for youth, music at BET at Viacom Africa, Monde Twala, said. 

According to the press statement the perfect person for the role is "someone with a powerful voice, eye-catching dance moves and a sense of fashion that would make Lebo Mathosa proud."
