Hi South Africans,
We in Kenya really loved your Lucky Dube and we are very shocked that anyone would want to spill his precious blood. We are really very traumatised, beyond belief and in deep grief at the loss. Now we understand how ugly the crime situation is in SA, we are really very sorry for you guys. Kenya is also bad, but they haven't killed any Legend yet; luckily (no pun). Actually we are not lucky at all because we don't have ANYONE any where close to Lucky Dube. That is why I am surprised to hear that he was not so popular in South Africa................??! How is this possible?
Anyway, the reason I took the time to come here is to let you know that Lucky brought alot of hope and a positive message to people in my country Kenya and many other African countries. I believe now that he has died, his popularity will skyrocket evenmore. Angry, Depressed and Desperate people were calmed down by his music, really! Now I heard that some hardened jailbirds who caused voilent crime in SA have made a written declaration to change because, as Lucky fell as one of thier victims it finally dawned on them what harm they have caused in peoples lives.

Maybe SA should now start playing Lucky Dube songs to these prisoners, make them start thinking about what they are doing? Incase you find this simple recommendation ridiculous, then you have not yet come to fully understand exactly who Lucky Dube was, and the power his music holds for struggling people all over Africa. Look at some of the fan comments on YouTube to get an idea, some are calling him a prophet now. 60-80 Thousand fans went for his concert in Uganda! Maybe some of these thugs are turning to crime as an outlet for pain and jealousy. But they are still human beings, many of them victims of something themselves.. Like many in Africa, they are just lost and confused. Lucky understood this, and his music is like mind medicine to many Africans. Prisons may get them off the streets, but only love and spiritual/ concious awakening will keep them out. Yes, I believe it's that simple.

Kenyans hold SA and the South Africans in the highest esteem. We are proud of your developments and achievements and wish to be like you one day, so I personally wish you all the best as you tackle your crime and racial problems.
