Letshego, who was with her husband on the Trek4Mandela expedition on Mount Kilimanjaro, asked a friend to read a note from her.

  • He wanted to make sure I was safe and then he let go, Letshego Zulu on Gugu's final momentsProject leader for the Trek4Mandela expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro, Richard Mabaso, has recounted some of Gugu Zulu's final moments. 

"My dearest husband, my best friend, my better half, my Gugs. Last week Monday was a heavy day for me. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. I keep thinking I will wake up," started the message.

Gugu and Letshego welcomed a baby girl into the world last year. In the note read out at the memorial, Letshego said that she would continue to expose their daughter to their adventurous lifestyle.

"You had so many dreams for our daughter. I promise to keep exposing her to our adventurous lifestyle. The lifestyle of the Adventure Couple hasn't come to an end. Lelethu and I will continue as the Adventure Couple."

Dressed in blue, Letshego explained that she chose the colour because it was Gugu's favourite and "in celebration of you."
