Yesterday the news that rally driver and all-round nice-guy Gugu Zulu had passed away saddened the country.
Gugu was also involved with many charity initiatives – he died while participating in the #TrekForMandela on Mount Kilimanjaro, where funds were being raised to help keep girls in school by providing them with feminine hygiene products.
While Gugu rose to fame for his skills behind the wheel, it was his warm personality and his love for his daughter Lelethu and wife Letshego that made him such a well-liked public figure.
His Instagram and Facebook accounts always held positive messages as well as beautiful photos of his budding family and one-year-old daughter. The pair called themselves #adventurecoupleza, and shared their fun-filled life with #adventurebabyza Lelethu with us on social media.
Here are five times Gugu made us believe in true love:
1.Gugu proposed to Letshego at the end of the Absa Cape Epic. Here’s a clip of him talking about his proposal on The Dan Nicholl Show.
2.This gorgeous photo was posted shortly after Lelethu was born.

4.We loved how he shared pics like this one, showing how his 1st Lady, as he called her, left a little note in his suitcase when he traveled.
5. Here we see him and #AdventureBaby Lelethu supporting Letshego while she trained for Ironman. He was always incredibly proud of his wife.
