"The South African reggae musician, Lucky Dube,
has been shot dead in front of his children in Johannesburg during an
attempted car hijacking. He had been dropping his teenage son and
daughter off in the suburb of Rosettenville on Thursday evening. Police
say they were already out of the car when three shots were fired
through a car window killing their father. Alongside Bob Marley, he was
thought of as one of the great reggae artists - singing about social
problems. He was also one of the apartheid regime's most outspoken
critics. Correspondents say the killing has shocked South Africans who
are already accustomed to one of the highest murder rates in the world.
Respect Local radio stations have been flooded with tearful callers
expressing outrage at the murder and renewing demands that the
authorities act to curtail crime. HAVE YOUR SAY He will be missed as a
great musician and for his love for the children and the suffering
people in Africa Abitekaniza Denis, Kampala, Uganda Send us your
comments Some have called on the country's rugby team to show some form
of respect when they take to the field in Saturday's World Cup final
against England in Paris. The BBC's Mpho Lakaje, at the crash site on
Thursday night, said Mr Dube's silver-grey Chrysler was surrounded by a
group of investigating officers. He noticed bloodstains on the seats
and shattered windows. Witnesses say after the shots were fired the
wounded 43-year-old singer tried to drive away, but lost control of his
car and hit a tree. "He was declared dead on the scene," Police
inspector Lorrain Van Immareck told the BBC. She said it was suspected
that three people were responsible for the attack. Name Earlier this
year, Mr Dube told the BBC that his parents named him Lucky after the
death of an earlier child. "When I was born I was sick so they thought
I was going to die so they didn't give me a name till I was six months
or so... They waited for me to die, but when I didn't die they said,
'Wow, he's a very lucky boy!' So they called me Lucky," he said. He
began his career by singing mbaqanga (traditional Zulu) music and
recorded his first album with the Super Soul band in 1982. He later
moved into reggae, producing Rastas Never Die and Think About The
Children in 1984. His albums Slave, Prisoner and Together As One saw
him gain first national, and then global, recognition. Three years ago
his 1989 anti-apartheid hit Together as One, which calls for world
peace and harmony, was voted one of Africa's top 10 songs by BBC
readers and listeners. Lucky Dube released his most recent album,
Respect, in April"
Rastas Never Die.
