Dear Editor,
Folk music will never be the same without the lyrical voice and textual advocacy of Olive Lewin. She gave birth to and nurtured so many cultural lives in music, dance, drama, elocution, and indeed history and anthropology.
We at the Creative Production and Training Centre (CPTC) bestowed on Olive, in 2010, our Cultural Medal of Honour for a life lived creatively for the benefit of the arts; magnanimously for the spirit of humanity, and sacrificially for the soul of a nation still yearning for a deeper understanding of identity and context.
Olive has gone, but her intellect and intellection, senses and sensibilities, as well as her emotions remain embedded in the DNA of a people whom she loved, respected and revered in the seminal work for which she has been applauded internationally.
Man is self-determined and the environment is the vineyard of his work. Olive mastered self and laboured selflessly, and we are the grateful beneficiaries of the fruits of her labour.

Tribute to the late Dr Olive Lewin, OD
