October does not seem to be a good month for reggae stars, On Friday the world was shocked to hear of the shooting death of Lucky Dube, who was killed in an apparent carjacking in a South African Suburb on Friday.
Earlier this month Tu Face Idibia was also shot by bandits, luckily he survived, unfortunately it was not the same for Dube.
Lucky Dube was seen as one of the Icons of Reggae music, in league with greats such as Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.
He was also known as a musical “freedom fighter” who was an outspoken critic of apartheid.
It is tragic when a human being who would have contributed so much could be shot for something as trivial and materialistic as a car.

Boyce Voice presents Lucky Dube performing a song that seems appropriately named “Its Not Easy”.
