African Reggae Artist Killed

2007-10-20 by Jimmy | 19 Comments
South African reggae singer Lucky Dube has been shot dead in Johannesburg.

Authorities say he was killed in an apparent car-jacking which happened in front of his son and daughter.

The well known 43-year-old was the biggest-selling reggae singer in South Africa and won local and international awards for his songs about oppression under apartheid.

Dube's first album "Rasta Never Die" was banned from radio airplay by the then all-white government.
