The nation was shocked this morning by the news of the murder of musician Lucky Dube, shot last night in what appears to be a highjacking attempt.
We have been shocked a number of times now by the murders of well-known people in this country in hijacking or other criminal activities. Sadly, it takes the deaths of well-known people to relight the fires of righteous indignation in the nation, to shake us out of a state of desensitivity. Yet every one of the daily murders that take place here are equally tragic.
This is not a consequence of an enlightened government. The wrong people are dying in this country.
Our condolences go out to Lucky Dube's family, and to all the families of yesterday's victims in this land. And tomorrow's.
