Minister Mbalula comments on the passing of Gugu Zulu
The Minister of Sport and Recreation South Africa, Fikile Mbalula has learnt with shock and sadness the passing of Gugu Zulu. Gugu Zulu lost his life in the early hours of Monday morning on summit to Kilimanjaro.
“It is with a heavy heart to hear of the passing of Gugu Zulu. I know him as a friend who was warm and kind. South Africans know him as a great talented motorsport athlete who excelled on the race course. His family knows him as a loving husband and father.
Gugu was part of the Trek4Mandela team that attempts to summit Kilimanjaro in support of young girls from disadvantaged communities. He passed on while on a mission to help others and that made him a selfless South African many should emulate. Gugu was young and still had a lot to offer our country. South Africa is poorer without him” Minister Fikile Mbalula said.
On behalf of the South African government, Minister Fikile Mbalula extends words of condolences to the family and friends of Gugu and to all sport loving South Africans.
