Lucky Dube is a legend,its too painful to hear that luck dube,my master was killed by unknown hijackers.God can never forgive or forget to compose a reggae music that the hijackers will dance soon.
God has been sending messages through him for love,peace,joy and freedom and knowlegde.
Africa has lost sound doctrine.

This is a very socking news especial to those whose support his music and has been inspired by his songs. I pray to God that the perpetrator will be brought to book and punished severely.

I am very concerned with the crime rate in South Africa. It is taking away talents, and criminals are not dealt with accordingly. Who gains with Dube's death

I send my condolences to his family, and also let whoever done it is an animal.
His music was not just music but an inspiration to his community …it’s about time that people from everywhere; why people who sing or talk about the negativity of the society never live longer?
