Sooooo Sad! That is what our dream-land (SA) has become : the crime capital of the world! In Ogoli (Joeburg) the cops are ducking and diving with Nigerian hard drug peddlers; while adolesscent whores do tango with haggard contenders.Makes Nelson Mandela question the rationale for spending 27 years of his checkered life in a dungeon on Robben Island. I lived in South Africa from 1996-2000 and was simply appalled by the magnitude of BLACK-ON-BLACK violence that has become the hallmark of life in Azania. While the rest of the world is conjugating efforts to make quantum leaps in the socio-economic sphere, we are leaving no stone unturned in our unrelentless drive toward mutual self-elimination. WHO knows who and where next? LUCKY DUBE, please rest in peace and extend my regards to Brenda Fassie.

> JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) — South African reggae star Lucky
> Dube was shot in an apparent carjacking attempt and died as he tried
> to drive away and crashed into a car and a tree, police and news
> reports said Friday.
> The 43-year-old international star was shot Thursday night in front
> of his son, whom he was dropping off in Johannesburg's southern
> Rosettenville suburb, according to Police Capt. Cheryl Engelbrecht.
> "His son was already out of the car. When he saw what was happening.
> He ran to ask for help," she said.
> Police were looking for the perpetrators, Engelbrecht said.
> The Star newspaper reported that three fellow musicians were among
> the first at the scene.
> The newspaper quoted an unidentified witness as saying Dube's son was
> out of the car, a Chrysler sedan, when the singer was approached by
> two men who opened his door and shot him twice.
> The wounded musician drove away and hit another car, causing him to
> lose control and hit a tree, the newspaper reported.
> South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world,
> recording an average of 50 murders each day. U.N. crime statistics say
> one in three Johannesburg residents has been robbed.
> The pervasive crime has raised concerns about South Africa's hosting
> of the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
> Dube recorded more than 20 albums in a career spanning more than two
> decades.
> Dube's recording company, Gallo Records, paid tribute to its star,
> the newspaper reported, quoting CEO Ivor Haarburger as noting that
> Dube had a bigger following internationally than in South Africa.
> The singer switched to reggae style in the 1980s to express his anger
> against South Africa's former racist white-minority regime.
