I was still at High School ,Khorixas way back in the 80's and can vividly still remember the song "Rastas never die". To date we will continue to pray for Lucky Dube 's soul to rest in eternal peace. surely he was a rasta icon like none other. If u get time, just play the above track.It's more than words can ever say. Simon,thanks for putting the death of a rastafarian icon in such detailed perspective.

As stated, my statement does not claim that “all of the Rastafarians”, but it states that "most other Rastafarians"; as quoted; "I used to think that he was like most other Rastafarians…". This contextualizing is based on what I know about “most of the Rastafarians”, not all, who I have personally met, but as my quote indicates, I didn't say "all". However, I am glad to learn more about the subject matter and I respect your stance. Please, stay in touch!

Please though, overstand that contextualizing the Rastafari faith as one that has adherents that simply drink alcohol and smoke marijuana is incorrect and does not serve your readers well. As a Rastafarian, I am here to state that we are African freedom fighters first and foremost...who stand in solidarity with the teachings of the Rt Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Haile I Selassie Jah Rastafari and other African liberators who lit the torch of African liberation at home and abroad. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=66410800&albumID=0&imageID=1771752 Greetings Simon,

Lucky Dube spent out his life for others and he loved the truth which many people don't like. He has died for the truth and the truth will console him. He is no more but not forever. He has been eliminated from this earth, but his spirit and music will always live among us forever. Lucky Dube was my number one musician. Missing you Dube and I know one day we shall meet. Rest in peace though it is difficult to imagine a world without you. Let your spirit and music live forever, Lucky Dube. Let Jah live!

So sad to note that the freedom that he firmly campaigned for has brought "other freedoms" in RSA one of which (crime) has eventually led to his own demise. The RSA government must stop this crime thing NOW! Simon, I have learned even more from your post about the life of Lucky Dube.
