Late Reggae musician, Lucky Dube is without doubt one of South Africa's iconic stars who left a legacy of love, tolerance and change through his music. His words were weapons fighting racial discrimination, fighting inequality, fighting all sorts of injustice demons in the world, awakening the spiritual and cultural heritage of the people of Africa While most fans are familiar with the performer, very few got to know the man behind the music, humble, deeply spiritual, courageous, respectful, wise and prophetic. Walking a Mile in Your Shoes My Spiritual Journey with Lucky Dube is Lenah Mochoele's tribute to her friend and spiritual mentor. Through her book 'Walking a mile in your Shoes' Lenah Mochoele gives an account, a spiritual journey of South African born world famous reggae star and hit maker Lucky Dube. His rise from a simple rural life is told in spiritual anecdotes that cast a different light to the straight talking reggae luminary. The life of Lucky Dube is presented through a lens that gives the reader an insight into why the singer, composer, producer's music dwelt on the suffering and the plight of the poor, against human rights abuse, as part of his chosen subjects. This aspect of Lucky Dube is veritably brought onto the spotlight years after his passing away in the hands of criminals, a terrible crime that almost threatened to dwarf the legacy of this achiever, messenger and musician par excellence. The book shares stories of Lucky's early life, the severe struggles and hardship of his youth, through to his deeply philosophical years which manifested in his music that stood for peace and change wherever he went. His songs continue to reverberate throughout every corridor of our households, our dusty streets and throughout every length and breadth of Africa, the diaspora and beyond. At a spiritual level, this book is a wonderful and powerful reminder to rekindle one's own connection and relationship with God to live with Him and not renounce Him.
