 JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Slain reggae star Lucky Dube was remembered Wednesday at a memorial service by friends and family who railed against his senseless shooting death and his bandmates who entertained a dancing crowd outside by playing some of his songs.
Dube, 43, was gunned down in front of two of his children last week in an apparent carjacking attempt in suburban Johannesburg. Four men who were arrested in connection with the murder appeared briefly in court Tuesday.
"We have lost a legend, an icon," said Skipha Shabalala, lead guitarist with Dube's band. "Why was this man killed in such a brutal and barbaric manner?"
