Member of LYO drowns on trip
THE Limpopo Youth Orchestra (LYO) had to cut short a trip to Senegal in 2014 after one of the orchestra members drowned.
Daniel Modiba drowned in the swimming pool of the hotel where the orchestra was residing during a tour of Dakar, Senegal.
The orchestra was invited by the South African embassy in Dakar to perform at Senegal’s 20 years of democracy celebrations.
Simoné Aronje-Adetoye, managing director of the Limpopo Youth Orchestra, said they would miss Daniel very much.
She described him as as a humorous person who went out of his way to make those around him laugh.
