Earth-Angel Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Sad news indeed. Although this happens on an hourly basis in South Africa. People outside of the borders are only made aware of it in circumstances like this. Everyone thinks it is the land of wine and roses, instead of seeing how this is not an isolated incident. His music is well-known back home, he is one of the most prolific African artists there. I feel very sorry for his kids who had to witness yet another senseless act of brutality.

Levis Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 This is going on our 3 o'clock entertainment bulletin and I'm writing the script for the voiceover for it. Why? Because I knew the most about it . Hopefully what I wrote tells people the whole story in 60 seconds. Thanks for putting it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yes, Lucky, you're leaving SF... everyone seems to know except for you. I feel terrible for his children as well... I can't imagine what it must be like to witness something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I know, it's terrible. We here in the US(and other parts of the world) don't realize the awful things that continue to happen elsewhere.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Police arrest 5 in reggae star's slaying [smaller]10/22/2007 7:22 AM, AP yahoo.com[/smaller] Police have arrested five men in the killing of reggae star Lucky Dube, who was gunned down in an apparent carjacking attempt. Police spokesman Eugene Opperman said the men were arrested Sunday morning and will appear in court Tuesday. Police also seized two stolen handguns and a car allegedly used during the crime. Dube, who launched his career in the 1980s with criticism of the apartheid regime, was killed after he dropped off two of his children at his brother's suburban Johannesburg house. Dube's friends told South African Sunday newspapers they believed it was a targeted assassination. But Opperman said police still believed he was shot in a botched carjacking. Carjacking is rife in South Africa, which has gained notoriety for its high rate of violent crime. Dube, one of South Africa's best-known singers, recorded more than 20 albums in a career spanning more than two decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
