THE men accused of murdering reggae star Lucky Dube pleaded not guilty to all charges against them in the Johannesburg High Court on Monday, the South African Press Agency reports.

Sithiwe Mlanga, Julius Xowa and Mbuti Mabe, all in their thirties, are facing charges of murder with aggravated circumstances, robbery and hijacking, among others.

Dube was murdered outside his brother's house in Rosettenville, southern Johannesburg, in October 2007, in what was believed to have been a botched hijacking.
