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.

Beware the false motives of others; Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers; And you suppose its those who are closest to you; They say all the right things to gain their position then use your kindness as their ammunition to shoot you down in the name of ambition. They do!!!WEBZ!!!

When will we ever get it into our heads to respect our own.
Lucky was a model to many our brothers in ghettos across Kenya.
May God rest his soul in peace and shame on those who live to kill.
Another black brother have fallen. farewell to you Dube. you have a lot of sorry fans today in the Solomon Islands. “you can kill the messenger but the message will leave on for ever”. peace and love to Dube’s family Bon voyage….

My heart is hurt by the announcement if Lucky Dube’s death. Just last week I was listening to his music and thinking how, in a time in my country (USA) of war and devisiveness, how we need his message of love and unity. I mourn for his family and all his fans.

I am from Kenya, and we really Love Lucky Dube’s reggae music. We have received this information with a great shock…… (cry)… I curse the rogues. Go in peace and JAH be on your side.
My Commiseration goes to the family that he has left behind, especially the son who was there to witness the death of his beloved Father and the great reggae musician. May JAH protect your soul. We love you Lucky Dube……we loved you and we will still love you through your music. This will live forever.

I do not understand why people continue to be so cruel and selfish. Do people always have to kill to have other people’s things. Why couldn’t they just take the car and leave Dube alone. Why cause so much trauma for the child, witnessing the brutal murder of the father. This criminals do not have the love of their country. Why take away an icon taht makes the country proud. Why defeat the country efforts to reduce crime, especially towards the 2010 games, what will countries think of safety in South Africa. God help South Africa. May Dube’s soul rest in peace.
🙁 our sympathy to the Dube family, how
sad it is , when is all this violence going to stop.
lucky dube was one of the best african musician we all loved that reggae and we are mourning for the loss of such a great character. May his soul rest in peace and his legacy live on forever
Lucky Dube was hero to all around the world let his soul rest in peace.
South Africans are to blame for starting killing their own heroes. it is sad news especially for me. Lucky changed my life through his musci and exacly the time he was killed I was listening to his music ‘ big boys dont Cry’ May his soul rest in peace. from Zambia
Terrible news!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why murder our own heroes Africa? Why?
Rest in Peace and Jah keep your soul.
:cry::cry: This is devastating. I still can’t believe they took my idle away . But those
who are reponsible for this cowardly act will surely have no peace for the rest of their lives . This man inspired a lot
of Africans including myself and the rest of the world .my condolences to Dube and the Dube family .rest in peace brother.
Why too early !!!!!!!!!!! God will punish who took part on his death.
Peace! bro, peace!!!!!!!!

This is horrifying. Why, why kill each other like this? God only will exact appropriate punishment for the killers. Good people die young! He was a great man!
South Africans wake up! Dont scare people. Look up to 2010!
May his soul rest in peace. Malawi
WHY! why do we have to our heroes? why killing our icons, It pains my heart, to see people that devote thier time and life die sorrowfully? So sad evil still prevail.
DUBE, you have done the much you? and the much left behind would be taken care of by Jah. Sing Reggee to angels up there!

This is terrific..I wonder why we,africans are getting more stupid and selfish everyday..!!I really can’t understand all those crimes..darfur..genocide in rwanda..ghettos in USA..every where around us it sounds animosity..I think it’s time to agree that we re not humans like others..we must change before begging for our rights..I live in Rwanda..I don’t want the world cup in africa.Idon’t want anyine important 2 come in africa..we are so selfish..we can’t even help eachothers but we kill each other..our own families..
I am so sure God sees what Dube did with his life.

Words cannot express the way I’m feeling. All I can say is to those rogues is they took away someone who was a role model.and such an inspiration. may fire burn you bums.
You will always be remembered by gambians . Rest in peace our brother your music will forever be with us. PEACE.

The demise of Lucky Dube is a sad one. Though he is dead, his messages to the world through his music can never be forgotten. Adieu Lucky Dube.
So sad indeed! U can’t believe me if i can tell u that i was talking about him with my brother Bob just 2 – 3 weeks back. Now his life has been taken away by his cruel,coward & selfish brothers who just think about themselves. Rest in peace Mo-Afrika!
HONESTLY…..the rogues could not see it was Lucky Dube??? What image have they now created for SOUTH AFRICA….DOOM, DOOM…given that the world cup is coming soon. That contract might even be cancelled because of security reasons. The rogues have shamed SA and the entire Africa…NOT FAIR. Lucky Dube, rest in peace, we will miss you so much. Millie…Kenya.
THE WORLD MOURNS THEIR LOVED ONE. R.I.P. LUCKY DUBE. For those foolish and bloody rogues…They are worse than BLACK DEVILS…the whole world is cursing you, you will die stealing….THIEVES. May your hands and your whole body be chopped bit by bit as you rot in PAIN FOR EVER. SHAME ….SHAME..SHAME…SHAME
