Four men accused of the murder of South African reggae star Lucky Dube appeared briefly in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Friday, the South African Broadcasting Corporation reported.
Mozambican nationals Sifiso Mlanga and Julius Gxowa and South Africans Thabo Moruping and Mbuti Mase face charges of murder, attempted hijacking and possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
The matter was postponed to January 18 next year for further investigation.
Dube was shot dead in October in a botched hijacking in Rosettenville, Johannesburg, while dropping off his teenage son and daughter at a relative’s house.
The four men have not yet been asked to plead. — Sapa
