FIVE men are set to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, charged with the killing of reggae star Lucky Dube, police said Sunday. Dube – driving a Chrysler sedan -- was shot three times on Thursday after dropping his two teenage children, Nonkululeko and Thokozani, at his brother’s house in the Rosettenville area of Johannesburg. Friends and relatives said they believed the attack was an assassination, but police discounted that theory following the arrest of the five suspects on Sunday morning. Police say Dube was murdered in a botched hijack. Dube’s murder sparked an international outcry, and highlighted South Africa’s growing gun culture. Police spokesperson Eugene Opperman said two stolen handguns and four cars -- including one allegedly used as a getaway after Dube’s slaying -- had been seized by detectives. "I can confirm that five suspects were arrested this morning," Superintendent Opperman said Sunday. "We also confiscated two unlicensed firearms, and four cars including the blue VW Polo that is believed to have been used on the night the crime was committed. The cars are believed to have been stolen," he added. |
