Lucky Dube Greatest Hits of all Time_ Top 20 Best Reggae of Lucky Dube

Remembering Lucky Dube 14 Years After Death.

Today, October 18th, 2021, marks exactly 14 years since Lucky Dube was shot dead during a botched carjacking attempt in Rosettenville, Johannesburg, South Africa. The incident transpired on Thursday evening of October 18th, 2007.

About an hour after they pumped two bullets into Lucky Dube, the alleged killers returned to where the reggae superstar laid dead to see if any of the bystanders recognised them.

This was the chilling evidence of a state witness, who also revealed, almost two years after Lucky Dube's death, that the two men on trial for the murder didn't recognise him and thought he was a Nigerian.

State witness Mpho Maruping said her husband had confessed his involvement in Dube's botched hijacking and gave her details on what led to the multi-award-winning superstar's death.

As Dube's relatives sobbed, the woman told the Johannesburg High Court of the night Dube was shot as he dropped off his teenage children in Rosettenville, a surbub of Johannesburg.

Mpho is the wife to Thabo Maruping. He (Thabo) was initially charged in connection to Dube's murder but turned state witness.

Mpho said her husband and three men on trial for murder, robbery, attempted robbery and illegal possession of firearms - S'fiso Mhlanga, Ludwe Gxowa and Mbuti Mabe - had been on the prowl on the evening of Thursday, October 18th, hunting for a Chrysler to hijack.

After their search proved fruitless, they parked their VW Polo and waited. Then a Chrysler drove up and stopped a few meters from them.

They pounced. Two shots were fired. Dube tried to drive off but he crashed his car into a tree and died on the spot.

May his soul continue to rest in peace 😓🕯️
