The news about our great hero was too sad to believe. And its to the disgrace and disappointment of the south Africa Government to lost a gem in their country. All i have to say is that all other artist needs to be extra careful so that they dont lose their lives like that.. A serious action most be taken over this matter to stop this kind of act. Ifedayo from Nigeria.

when there were shooting were was the police for then to arrest inocent peoples

Greetings,

Thank you for the article concerning the brutal and senseless murder of Lucky Dube. I have been a reggae radio dj in the United States for nearly twenty years and had the privilege of interviewing and seeing Lucky perform. My prayers go out to all the international fans and the family of Lucky Dube.

I would like to correct a comment in your article that says that Rastafarians are known to be 'heavy drinkers and smokers." Although, many Rastafarians smoke ganja (marijuana) very few drink alcohol. They are certainly NOT heavy drinkers. This misinformation does not help create the peaceful, loving nature of true Rastafarian livity and I would like to ask that your publication correct what they wrote.

Heartical love and respect, Sista Irie 88.7 FM KAZI Austin, Texas reggae radio host and photojournalist

I just lost my Hero. It's such a big shame that they took him away innocently in front of his kids. Just because of little Volkwagen Golf car??? I tend to wonder if there was another motive behind the killing. I doubt if the killers knew who he was. But the truth is they killed our Hero, our Legend. The African reggae Maestro. May they face the harshest part of the law.

We will always remember you Lucky. Your memories will always be with us forever. There will always be one LUCKY DUBE.

May the gods protect your soul. May you rest in peace Lucky, Sleep well Brother.

We will always miss you MALUME.

Hey, i'm a student currently doing studies in New Zealand...Just wanted to say how sad me and my friends were when we found the tragic news about lucky dube...over here to us he was known as one of our uncles even thou he didn't know us, but we understood his music we loved it, jamed to it,danced just name it we LOVED HIM and his wonderful talent at musice representing the REGGAE NATION but we were also guttered when we heard about him we didn't wanna belive it especially me...such a shame one of the FAMOUS WELL KNOWN LEGENDS "UNCLE LUCKY DUBE" was taken away....

His music will still live on RASTAH hard and many wishes to his family and love...

..."REMEBER ME"...famous words sung by the Legend..

IN LOVING MEMORY OF "UNCLE LUCKY DUBE" YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN..

Great article on Lucky Dube, thanks for honouring a legend among reggae stars.

Please, next time do a little research first about your subject matter. The statement "Despite the fact that most Rastafarians are known to be heavy drinkers and smokers of the "herb"" is not only ignorant but disrespectful. Although not a rasta myself, I am good friends with many. First many have told me that true rastas don't drink as it is man made and not naturally occurring. Others have told me that beer and wine ferment naturally and therefore are ok to drink, but I have never known anyone I would consider a rasta to be a heavy drinker. As far as herb goes, being natural, it is used but not abused. Again, I have never seen any one I consider to be rasta so high that they are out of control or incoherent. Unfortunately, condoning the smoking of herb has a lot of appeal to people who just want to get high all the time. These people and those who grow dreads just to be cool are not rasta, please don't confuse them.

Jah guide

Please, get your facts right. Rastaman is a Rocker, Smoker but not a drunk. Lucky, you will be miss for the BHM show in New York 2008 but will always be here in spirit so no problem mon you rest in peace cause everything will be alright. Jah bless to your kids and the family.

It's not uncommon to see both elderly and young mourning when ever they listern to mSDube's music. What and inspirational man.His music has made alot of people to turn from bad deeds, especially in Ghana. Indeed, he was a Mesiah.

I have been a follower of Luky Dube and his music since 1989. He was always my favorite reggae artist. We went to see him whenever he and his band was performing near by to us. I went online to find a new tour date yesterday and was devastated by this horrible tragic news. My children have grown up with his music as well and so we as a family are feeling the pain. It is so so sad. His murder is a tragic undespicable loss. His music will continue to live on in our home. We will miss him. May we meet again someday. Our prayers go out to his family. Love and Peace, Janice and Tony
