Believe it or not, South African reggae musician Lucky Dube was shot dead by some armed rogues who were attempting to hijack the blue Volkswagen polo he was driving in a Johannesburg suburb around 1820 GMT on 18th October 2007 (last night).
Lucky Dube was only 43 years old at the time of his death. This is tragic. Rest in peace brother, rest in perfect peace.

It’s a very sad story to hear.
God be with the Wife and Kids. We sympathize with his family in this great time of sorrow.
We Demand the Full force of Justice to deal with those who killed him.
Lucky Dube has contributed so much to the music industry especially in singing and pointing out practical social problems affecting the world over.
Rest in Peace….Brother.

It was a shock when i heard the news about the icon of South African reggae. What happen to our conscience, why killing? The law must take it’s course. This must come to an end of the killing of innocent people.
God’s eye is moving to and fro looking.
Lucky you will always be remembered especially the songs that brought the nations together ” different color one people.
To the family ” May God give you comfort”
What else can we say, it’s a a “Crazy World”. And didn’t Lucky Dube sing about it? Well, these lyrics say it all:
So far so good we still living today
But we don’t know what tomorrow brings
In this crazy world
People dying like flies every day
You read about it in the news
But you don’t believe it
You’ll only know about it
When the man in the long black coat
Knocks on your door
‘Cause you`re his next victim
As you are living in this
Lucky is gone! The music world has lost a star and the heavens will feel the void forever. May the Lord be with his family and may God comfort the children who were unforunate enough to witness the brutal killing of their beloved father. Lucky Dube, sun re o!
I have been speechless after hearing the news of his death. We love you, Lucky Dube from Papua New Guinea. On my YouTube site, I have the song “Rastas Never Die” which was played at his funeral as a tribute to him. We love you, brother. RIP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNak7U7-XwM

From a country with its own problems with violent deaths, Where mothers, sons, brothers, have to see their love ones getting violently kill every day on our streets. From here representting all Lucky’s fans here, Que Descanse en Paz””Lucky Dube. Your word thru your music will never Die!!! This is so tragicly unbelievable!!!I’m so sad!! Respect to Lucky’s family and close friends.
Its terrible what happened to our brother Dube. 🙁 I dont understand why criminals in South Africa have to kill when taking from people. Why??? Crime is in every country, but the violent crime of South Africa stuns me!!!
Dube, you are the only other person after Mandela that people recognise when I say I am from South Africa. You have put our country on the map during your life and I wish to see you again in the next life brother! Rest in Gods peace!

We just read the news last night while looking for new concert tour dates for him and learned of Lucky Dube’s tragic death. It is so painful. We have been going to his concerts and listening to his music since 1989. My children love him too. We are so sad that we will never be able to take them to a live concert of his. His music will continue to live in our home and in our hearts fowver. This is a horrible tragedy. Our prayers go out to his family. God Bless and protect you.

A girlfriend introduced me to his music and I have been a fan ever since.Just like Bob Marley he was an icon,and he is sadly missed.And the vindictive and angry side in me wishes that those men that took his life die a painfully slow death.Lets hope that someone else like Dube and Marley emerges soon to carry on their message.
