10 Years Later: Letshego Zulu Opens Up About Gugu, Kilimanjaro and Life Now

Gugu Zulu was my friend. I still consider him my friend. Ten years after we lost Gugs on Mount Kilimanjaro, I finally had the opportunity to sit down with Letshego Zulu and talk about that mountain, the man we both loved and the incredible life she has built since.

A year after losing Gugs, Letshego returned to Kilimanjaro and reached the summit in his honour. From there, she began the incredibly difficult journey of picking up the pieces and choosing to live, something she would later write about in her memoir, I Choose to Live: Life After Losing Gugu.

Today, Letshego is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, mom and formidable endurance athlete. She runs, she cycles, she takes on massive challenges and she uses her story to inspire women across South Africa.

She's strong, funny, adventurous and just a really lekker South African.

Gugs would be incredibly proud of her. I know I am.
