Reggae singer Lucky Dube has been shot and killed around 8.20pm yesterday.

The incident took place on Thursday night when Dube went to drop off his son at his uncle's house in Rosettenville, southern Johannesburg. Two men approached him and opened fire. No further details were available as his son, who reportedly witnessed the incident, was still in shock. At now the hijackers were still at large.

Lucky Philip Dube was born on the 3rd of August in 1964. After a few failed pregnancy attempts by his mother Sarah, Lucky came into the world. Giving birth to a boy was considered a blessing and his mother considered his birth so fortunate that she aptly named him 'Lucky'.

Our special condolences to his family, rest in peace man, we love you all for all the good vibes you shoot !
