Emotional tributes at Gugu Zulu memorial

A memorial service was held at the Kyalami Race Track in Midrand on Tuesday.

Zulu died last Monday while attempting to summit Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the Trek4Mandela campaign.

"To me you embodied what I believe could be the modern African man. I admired you Gugu, a man who took responsibility for his children. Gugs, you were a man who saw no colour. Neither your own nor that of another and you just championed humanity," said his friend André Ross.

Gugu's wife, Letshego wrote an emotional farewell that was read out at the memorial.

Gugu's mother also paid tribute.

Loyiso Bala paid tribute in song.
