Fans across the world are mourning the death of South African reggae star Lucky Dube who was shot dead yesterday.

Dube was dropping his teenage son and daughter off in a Johannesburg suburb when he was attacked by car thieves.

Local radio stations have been flooded with tearful callers expressing outrage at the murder and renewing demands that the authorities act to curtail crime and also urged the Springboks team to show some form of respect when they take to the field in tomorrow’s World final against England in Paris.
