And the South African reggae star Lucky Dube has been shot dead in an attempted car jacking in Johannesburg. The 43-year-old singer was South Africa’s biggest-selling reggae artist. In 1984, South Africa’s apartheid government banned his record “Rastas Never Die.” Lucky Dube said that at the time the apartheid government viewed his music as a threat.

Lucky Dube: “They didn’t like reggae, period. They just didn’t like reggae, because reggae music became a threat to them, because reggae was talking, even though, say, for instance, with Jamaican reggae, it was talking about things happening in Jamaica, but it was the same things that were happening in South Africa. So, the music became a big threat to the governments.”

On Sunday, police arrested five men in connection with the murder of Lucky Dube.
