Fans lash out at use of Lucky Dube's car on OPW

Johannesburg- OPW fans have hit out at the use of the car that Lucky Dube was killed in, on Sunday night's episode of the reality show.

Social media went crazy after it was revealed that the couple chose to arrive for their wedding, in the same car that the legendary musician was murdered in. 

The car has been revamped and turned into a limousine, which can now be rented out for special occasions.

While the bridal couple believed that the car had "sentimental value," viewers just weren't impressed. 

Fans took to Twitter to share their opinions about the use of the car, with some even labelling the decision as "distasteful."

This saw the show quickly make the Twitter trends list across the country. 

Mzansi Magic could not be reached for comment.

Hmmm... This Lucky Dube touch is horrific. Imagine if it was your dad who'd been shot dead in that car... I'm not impressed #OPW

So a limousine was made out of the car Lucky Dube died in? Where do people draw the line in terms of making money off dead celebs? #OpenLine
