Memorial service for Gugu Zulu
The memorial service for race car driver and athlete, Gugu Zulu will be held at the Kyalami Race Track in Johannesburg on Tuesday morning.
Zulu died last week Monday while attempting to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for the Trek4Mandela campaign.
The service is set to start here in Kyalami at 11am, and many people, not only from the sporting fraternity, are expected to come and pay their final tribute to the sportsman.
South Africans watched last week as the emotional team of hikers returned from the climb and how Zulu's death affected everyone involved.
Trek4Mandela expedition leader Sibusiso Vilane was one of many who addressed media at the airport after they landed last week, and he had everyone in tears as he apologized for not bring all the climbers home.
Zulu will be laid to rest on Thursday, 28 July following a service at the Rhema Church in Randburg.
Zulu’s uncle, Tsheliso Motloheloa, said the family is devastated, but the messages of support have kept them strong.
