Mad, mad, world. Lucky Dube killed in Johannesburg. Back in the 1980’s he bridged the black-white divide with his music. I remember partying to him live at university. He will be sorely missed. The world has lost a great musician, peacemaker and democrat. My thoughts are with his family.
More over on my good lady’s blog.

Lucky touched my heart many years ago and today it is heavy and broken.
The joy, truth and wonderful music he brought us will forever live on in my heart and home. It is sad day to loose this soft spoken, gentle man who brought us truth and unity. I am blessed to have know him. My love and thoughts to his family and band.
I sit here today with his music filling my house and tears filling my eyes.
I will miss him dearly and what he brought to the my world. Rest in Peace Lucky.

Lucky’s music and lyrics was a very powerful and I was very shocked to hear that We lost a hero.
Messages behind his songs are very motivating and lucky did not hesitate to fight injustice in all his albums.
Violence in South Africa has affected so many people and I do hope that the police will do everything possible to identify and arrest those responsible.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and fans during this difficult time.
Rest in Peace Lucky.

Wish we had you a little longer. Sadly, the world has a way of taking the peacemakers. Evil men may slay you but they can never slay the message you left with us. May your Soul Rest in Eternal Peace.

Lucky was a man of great inspiration. I have attended many of his concerts in San Diego California. This true messenger of piece and love will surely be missed. Another great legend to be killed senselessly. His legacy will go on. Condolences to the Dube family.

i am saddened to hear the news of the death of a superstar. Words cannot express how I am feeling right now.The way in which you died is what you have alway song about in your songs. I have grown to love and appreciate your songs as they have given us hope as a black people. You sought to speak of racial discrimination,and violence. ttThe world has lost an icon and we will forever miss you. Sleep in the arms

The world has truly lost a great person sadley his life was taken by one of his own, and that’s the way it has been throughout the years. I read on one of the sites where someone wrote “I wonder if the killers knew it was Lucky Dube’s car they were trying to hijack” don’t get me wrong when I say this because I love this man and I was bless with the oppertunity to meet and chat with at the same time why does it have to matter if ot was lucky the bottom line it should not have been anyone that got killed over a car. I do not condone violence but I will say that the people of South Africa need to stop killing each other and deal with the people you vote into power the ones that keep you oppress. Sometime God uses us a vehicle in which to get a message across and he uses the most public person and well love person so that the world will take notice to situations. How much good it does or will do, I don’t. What I do know is that it will take me a long time to understand Why idiots will kill someone who has done nothing but to speak out on their behalf. Wake up people start using your thinking ability develope some common sense and stop killing each other and this is not just for South African alone but for the billions of Blacks throughout the world who see fit to kill a Brother, Sister, Wife, Child, a mother or a Father. WAKE UP.
