Gugu Zulu ~
South African racing driver and one half of the 'Adventure Couple', Gugu Zulu, is being laid to rest at the Rhema church in Randburg, Johannesburg today.
Zulu died while attempting to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania earlier in July 2016. The 38-year-old had complained of flu-like symptoms two days before he died.
Zulu's body was repatriated on July 21 and a memorial was held in his honour at the Kyalami race track on Tuesday (July 26). More than 1000 people attended the emotional ceremony in which friends and family shared their experiences of the deceased racing driver's career.
Zulu's mother Puleng and wife Letshego spoke at the memorial. Some of the speakers at Zulu's funeral include SA Minister of Sport and Recreation Fikili Mbalula, and the Mayor of Johannesburg, Parks Tau. As well as Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, and Gauteng Premier David Makhura.
