The pure voice of Lucky Dube, the South African reggae singer, was silenced last night in more senseless violence.
I was saving this clip for a post on Reggae Covers of american hit songs, but I'll post it now for you to enjoy.
As he now trods Mt. Zion, he finally knows what love it.
Here's the report from the Belfast Telegraph:
Reggae star Lucky Dube shot dead in Johannesburg
Friday, October 19, 2007
The South African reggae legend Lucky Dube has been shot and killed during an apparent car-jacking in his homeland.
The 43-year-old was shot in front of his son last night while he was dropping him off in the Rosettenville suburb of Johannesburg.
Dube recorded more than 20 albums in a career spanning more than two decades and was South Africa's biggest selling reggae artist.
His killing has focused fresh attention on the country's crime rates, with an average of 50 murders recorded every day.
