Greetings everybody.
I’m sure that many of you have heard the tragic news about the famous local Reggae star Lucky Dube. Yesterday evening he was killed by three as yet unknown hijackers, as he was dropping off his son in Rosettenville, a Johannesburg suburb. Its said that his daughter witnessed the whole scene unfold before her very eyes. The gunmen that shot Mr. Dube are as yet still running around free.
It is such sad news to hear about a legend like Lucky Dube, a man that brought peace through his music, who lived a loving life striving for freedom, meeting such a terrible end. Mr. Dube’s music has inspired generations of South Africans, even throughout the apartheid era, he was one of the voices of freedom. Lucky Dube will not only be missed here in South Africa but all across the globe.
Lucky Dube, who I think still had so much to give through his music, has passed away at the young age of 43. His music career lasted more than 25 years and he won numerous awards. He was also the first South African artist to be signed by the famous American label Motown. Lucky Dube’s music has also helped enhance important social messages, such as his songs about AIDS and common equality.
Lucky Dube is a legend and we must not forget it. We here at eSquared hope that everybody will go about there weekend with a mellow, cool and motivated attitude in respect for “The man“.

Indeed Gretta. It is sad to see somebody who has inspired such positive change, meet such a terrible end. The government as well as all cultures in SA need to stick together in these times.
Hi
Very sad condolences to the Dube family and all the fans globely.
Let the world learn as much from the Legend of liberation music that Mr Dube sang. May God be with his family and may they all beleive that they will meet him at the promised land above. Let us all beleive that this was the time that God called him and may all his family be protected by Gods eternal love.

This news was an absolute shock to read! It made headlines in overseas newspapers which is where i first heard of this horrific news.
When will this terror end!!!!????
It baffles me how wicked peopple can be.
Imagin, for instance a man that sings for peace, a man that brought hunor honor to his Country through his voice, a man that sings for freedom of his people.
Well i dont have much say about his death because there’s no amount lament or tears that will bring him back to life but the most important thing is that his killers will never go unpunished because there’s a saying that says “he who live by hun shall die by gun”
Well we the it was a great shuck to infact we realy missed him mostly his sweet voice, his touching songs and his sensational songs.
So me and my family are saying may his soul rest in perfect peace amen
