It really sux, I cannot imagine having to watch your father die before you. My heart goes out to his family.

I'm not sure how to put this but perhaps having black celebreties killed off due to crime the general populace will start to wake up to the reality of the crime wave in SA and stop believeing that their govt is doing a good job.

This is a sad day. I'm so very sad. :-s

Is this the freedom Democracy has brought?

Is this what Madiba sat in jail for all those years?

Is this what the struggle was for?

Shame on the Gvt for doing absolutely squat and telling us who are speaking out to stop whinging and leave!!!

Death by firing squad should be those bastards sentence.

Well done to South African gvt for protecting greats like him. This country is going downhill so fast and yet all they care about is the soccer. I hold this gvt personally responsible. What a loss. Where the hell is our state president?

 

[Willie Hartzenberg]

That is FREEDOM , FREEDOM to KILL , This is not the end.

Eish.
My condolences to Mr Dube's family.
What a tragic waste of a life. So unnecessary. So sad.

All the good Reggae singers like Marley, Tosh and now Dube have died young and before their age.

I blame the illegal aliens, who take our jobs, our homes and our lives.

RIP, Rastaman

So sad. This government is more worried about transformation in rugby than crime.

 

[dualmeister]

How many local celebrities have died in violent crimes now in the last two years ?

 

[Dippybot]

So sad. This government is more worried about transformation in rugby than crime.

I couldn't agree more. Leave sport alone and concentrate on the important things like crime, health and education.

 

[Sneeky]

The cruel reality of 'not' living behind a R90m wall.

Condolences

This is really tragic. Will miss him, have always been a fan.

Also, take the time to think of the other 18 000-20 000 people murdered every year in this country...

A truly tragic event that has removed from society a man renowned for his great musical talent and ability to see and accept all and sundry on their merits.

Sincerest condolences to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed, not only by the people in this country, but by people around the world who were given the opportunity to listen to his music.

As sad as this is - and it is indeed sad - we can hope that it is a turning point.
What we need is our popular public figures to make a huge stand and get headlines and such that will be hard to ignore and, hopefully, extremely damaging and embarassing for mbeki & his band of thieves.
