Lucky Dube to be honoured
Lucky Dube, the late African reggae icon will be one of six South African (SA) musicians who were honoured on December 2 at the Tribute to SA Music Heroes Concert at Moretele Park, Tshwane.
Dube, who was killed last month in a botched hijacking, was honoured alongside Busi Mhlongo, Don Laka, Vusi Mahlasela, the late Jabu Khanyile and Queeneth Ndaba.
The concert, which was the brainchild of Sam Mhangwani and Leonard Sithole of Drakensberg Promotions, also saw top talent on the local music scene performing to a capacity crowd.
The Tribute to SA Heroes Concert celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

Tyrone Taylor who will be remembered for his very popular hit 'Cottage In Negril' died on Saturday, December 1 from prostrate cancer in Kingston.
Tyrone Taylor began his recording career in the 1970s voicing for producers such as Winston 'Niney' Holness. But fame remained elusive for the singer. He hit paydirt in the 1980's when he released "Cottage In Negril".
In recent years Tyrone suffered two strokes and he publicly admitted his battle with drugs. The Elizabeth born Taylor was 50 years old at the time of his death.
Among his other memorable recording was "Members Only".
Yardflex sends out sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

Speedy recovery goes out to Adugo from the Yardflex crew.
