My thoughts go out to Lucky's family and friends.

I m quite dissolution and morally down on the distasting manner in which an ICON of Lucky Dube standing past on to the great beyond.
I am an advent lover if reggae music and with Lucky, it was the bomb, deep in the inside of me, I was hoping to meet him in 2010 when South Africa will be hosting the world (FOTBALL MUNDIAL) .As there wont be a better person for the opening and closing ceremony than the reggae king himself.

I cant help but imagine what will be going through Grandpa’s mind (Mandela) right now, this is not the new South Africa he wished for, this was not what he fought for. Many spilled their blood for the liberation of South Africa……….Dube fought for it, Mariam Makaba fought for it, so many died just to be liberated.

South African and indeed South Africans must tell the world what happened to LUCKY PHILLIP DUBE……Dube’s killers must not go unpunished, is challenged to the South Africa Police force.

I weep with tears!! My heart is heavy. Adieu DUBE! Adieu PHILLIP!! Adieu LUCKY.
Nigerians miss you. I miss you.
