Dube Was Shot In Error: They Thot He Was A Nigerian! by Reptyle(m): 10:55am On Feb 06, 2009 |
Killer ‘mistook Dube for a Nigerian‘[size=8pt][/size] Johannesburg – Reggae star Lucky Dube was shot dead because one of his assailants thought he was a Nigerian national, the High Court here heard yesterday. Mpho Maropeng, wife of Thabo Maropeng, whose charges have since been dropped, said that on the day of Dube‘s death four men including her husband had driven to Rosettenville. This was according to information related to her by Thabo a day after the incident. She said Thabo told her what had happened after receiving a call from one of the accused, Mbuti Mabe, telling him to watch a television broadcast showing Dube‘s death. “I was also watching , they were showing Lucky Dube singing, (then) a vehicle which had crashed into a tree.” Her husband then told her what had led up to the shooting. When she asked Thabo why the men had shot Dube, she told the court he said Mabe had told him: “He did not see it was him (Dube). He thought it was a Nigerian.” Mabe, Sifiso Mhlanga and Julius Xowa, all in their 30s, are on trial for the murder of Dube outside his brother‘s house in Rosettenville, southern Johannesburg, on October 13, 2007. The case continues today. – Sapa http://www.theherald.co.za/herald/news/n11_04022009.htm http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=134945 What a shame.
