Tupac's Family Reschedules South Africa Trip

Monday, September 11, 2006
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Tupac ShakuAfeni Shakur, mother of late rapper Tupac Shakur, has postponed her family's scheduled trip to South Africa, where his remaining ashes were to be spread in Soweto on the 10th
anniversary of his death.

The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation instead commemorated the occasion this past weekend in Atlanta's Peace Garden, where the public was invited to bring a plant in the memory of a
lost loved one.

The trip to South Africa is rescheduled for June 16, 2007, which coincides with the anniversary of the Soweto uprising as well as Tupac's 36th birthday.

"My family and I regret that they must postpone the trip to South Africa to a later date, due to personal reasons." Afeni Shakur said in a statement.

"We understand the work and time that everyone has put into making this trip possible, but the work of helping the children and sick of South Africa must continue."

Tupac Shakur died on Sept. 13, 1996, due to gunshot wounds inflicted from a drive-by shooting days earlier in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Meanwhile Soweto, South Africa is remembered for its 1976 anti-apartheid protests, where thousands of Black students rioted against armed police officers.

The town was held in high regard by Shakur before his untimely passing.

Crazy as hell......i tell my circle all the time that they are whut they "believe and visualize" themselves to be. All day. You have to visualize and believe it, before it is gonna pop for you. This man, believed every word that he spit....and he became and surpassed err'thang he "visualized". The power of words, ideas, messages...smh. Dayem. Its society that tells us whut we cant do. In schools, interviews, interaction etc. Ever wonder why some of the worlds drop outs are millionaires...because they werent in school around those old ideas telling them whut they couldnt do...cats looked at life and said the obvious "life has no boundries" and ran with it.

This just shows that tupac is very much alive. How many times has mrs. Shakur scattered tupac's ashes? about 3 - 4 times! maybe tupac is now ready to come back 10 years on.

Tupac is not dead!!! on one of his albums/cd's he said will be bac in 2007!! and he is hiding out in south africa. And if he is dead how can he come out with videos and songs? it just makes u wonder. And his double went missing after supposebly he died. I think it was his double that died to make peolpe think it was tupac cuz everyone knew he was gonna die!!
