Luck Dube was a huge contributor to South African culture and music. In the 80's he started making reggae music. It took a while to gain support from his native country but it happened and he want on to make 22 albums. His message was Anti-Apartheid and was never accepted by the pro white government which was disbanded in 95' He touched millions of people internationally and helped many people through impossible times during the apartheid.
He was shot dead October 17, 2007 by apparent hi jackers. I wonder if they knew who he was? Would the outcome have been the same if they knew that someone so dedicated to Africa was the one they were about to kill?
