I was absolutely blown away by the response that my post received when I blogged about Lucky Dube passing away. So much so that I feel the need to list some of the astounding, moving and emotional comments that were posted.
At the time of writing this there were 40 comments on the post, here are some of them:
Lucky Dube- you are an inspiration to many a generation. You were loved by many and your music will live on forever. My deepest condolences go out to Lucky’s family and friends. May you rest in peace Sir! – Jason
The gods must be crazy!!! What a terrible moment in ma life and the days to come! Jah bless! RIP LD – Steve, Uganda
I am very sorry for what has happened to that good man. may his soul rest in peace. like one of his song says
“you ll rip what u sowed” the killer will get a punishment. Sorry the Dube family,his friends abroad and fellow South Africans. To you the minister of justice, you have to do something. – Susanna
I am so shocked and traumatised by the the news I heard early this morning. What should not happen, happened. Lucky Dube shot dead. I still have a problem to believe that Lucky Dube is dead.
What I know, He will still be in the mind of people all over the world.
Lucky DUbe, you departed, but you remain the greatest. Your music will never die; people will speak of you from generation to generation.
May you soul rest in peace. – Emmanuel
Its early morning in Dallas, Tx USA..on my way home i was listening to BBC and i heard about this! I am shock!!! realy, how is that possible? how could anyone shot Lucky? the man is an Icon!!
As an African, I have always been proud of Lucky’s talent and success.
Lucky was down to Earth Brotha, I remember when he visited Dar Es Salaam every one was looking forward to his concert.
Lucky Dube Tanzania will miss youRest in Peace my Brother – Swahili Brotha
A sad day, From an Aussie Lucky fan – Alan Milnes
LD, Rest in peace. To us who have been left, as LD said ‘How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and watch …..’ – Samuel Gathoka, Kenya
In a bit of a shock and very sad. Maybe it will wake us up and make us realize that violence is a problem for all of us. It’s not just up to the Department of Justice or to the cops. They can’t do it alone. Crime is a bigger problem, that concerns every aspects of our society and every governmental department, as well as all of us must take actions. – Pauline
I would like to offer my sincere and humble condolences to the Dube family and his loyal friends and fans. I would also like to thank all of the people who commented on the post and showed thier support for this country and Lucky Dube. Thanks.

It is a pity that our beloved friend and one of the Africa’s Stars fell by the bullet of the wicked, heartless and consciensless individuals who happened to be product of bad governors in Africa as a whole. Lucky Dube had come to this world, lived a worthy life and died as an heroe. Shame on those people that felt they can put and end to somebody’s life untimely as they shall definetely pay the supreme price in the hereafter.
To the family of the Icon of our time, May Almight God protect and give you the fortitude to bear the greatest lost. To South Africa Goverment and others in the continent, it is high time we faced reality by making policies and programs that will make peoples life better and secured so that crime rate will be reduced rather than looting public funds and playing unpleasant politics that continue to set us backward.
Dube, though you are died in flesh but not in spirit as your good work on earth will never be forgotten. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Adieu…..

to the Dube family,i still can’t believe he is gone-for years he has been out of the paparazzi and it shows that he was a good man. may those who did this deed pay in a much cruel way!

Hello Brothas who share in the grief of Lucky Dubes gruesome murder, may the LORD comfort us all.
Dube was as harmless as anything you could think of. He was a model for the youth and with his music he carried tham all along. Why would anyone even think of harming, not to talk of killing someone like him.
I hope African leaders learn a lesson from this death. Do somethiing that will give the youth a better life and make them their brothers’ keepers, and not killers.
To his children, please take heart, don’t give up, our help comes from the LORD. Live like true children of your father. Live his message. Live his heartcry. Live his passion.
LUCKY Man, REST IN PEACE. See you in another world.

lucky dube, prophet, teacher and reggae impresario is been given a heroic welcome as the angels usher him in to the presence of shembe ,the ever living and the ever faitful.
The day shembe created lucky no any other person was created; that day, Shembe took his time on philip so that he was extraodinary.
Shembe`s wrath will be take its tolll on the killers.
we grief and mourn this great loss.

It has taken time for me to come into terms with the passing of our brother, an Azanian son. The son of Shembe but I have no doubt that the brother is in Shembe safe hands as I write this piece and as I am letting the pain ease in my heart. ‘without the father!! without the father, children are suffering’ I wonder if the killer has ever listened to this track by the Azania (South Africa) kid Lucky Dube.
Conquer with henry ameh-abuja from nigeria, when he says Shembe`s wrath will be take its tolll on the killers..

I’d be inclined to engage with you here. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
