>  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.
