Lucky Dube born in August 3, 1964, died on October 18, 2007. He was killed by unknown people who are considered to be gangsters. I was shocked once I heard the death of Reggae composer the then Lucky Dube in South Africa . My favority music is reggae. For this case I lost very important friend of mine.

What worried me much is the killers killed Lucky Dube infront of his son and daughter. I don't believe if we will get some one to fill the gap left by Lucky Dube. I pray to God to rest Lucky Dube in a peace place.
