Renowned adventurer and race car driver Gugu Zulu died just before summiting mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania with the Trek 4 Mandela expedition, as the world celebrates what would have been the global icon for reconciliation’s 98th birthday.
In a brief statement, the Nelson Mandela Foundation said Zulu died after experiencing breathing problems and medical teams tried everything they could to save his life.
South Africans took to social media to pay tribute the adventurer #GuguZulu
