Today, my siblings are coming to my house just to commemorate our father. 'We'd play my father's music and sometimes watch his videos. My brother Thokozani and I were there in that car on the day my dad was killed and this day brings back those memories. “Normally on this day, we meet as Lucky Dube's kids just to remember our dad but it becomes emotional because we are still healing. The three suspects linked to his death were sentenced to 15 years in 2009.ĭube’s daughter, Nkulee Dube, who is also a musician, said October 18 is very emotional for all her siblings. Yesterday marked 15 years since Dube was shot and killed while dropping off one of his children in Rosettenville, Johannesburg south. However, his family is hurt that their father is still being remembered with events in other countries while here at home he has been forgotten. Every year on October 18, all six children of the slain reggae singer Lucky Dube gather at home and sing his songs in commemoration of the day his life was cut short.
