I post a picture of Gugu with his incredible family because I feel as though they were and forever will be one. You cannot think or speak of Gugu without thinking of his inspirational, incredible partner Letshego and their Love formed into a being, Lelethu. I am heartbroken and cannot fathom what the Zulu family is going through. I pray they find strength, peace and the answers they desperately seek. God lovingly gives and He takes in His own perfect time. We should never allow the memory of death to overpower the memory of the life it took. Thank you and your amazing wife @letshegozulu for teaching and reminding us that true Love and pure Friendship can merge to create a Power House that we will always know and celebrate as #TheAdventureCouple. My deepest condolences. ?????????????? #SmileBecauseHeLived #RIPGuguZulu

It's a sad day... If there ever was a couple that lived life to its absolute fullest, it's this one. They are unimaginable apart. My deepest heartfelt condolences to Gugu's wife Letshego and their beautiful little girl Lelethu. This incredible and kind man who you never saw without a smile will be sorely missed. #RIPGuguZulu ??
