Ayanda took to social media to share the cover.

Her caption read: “And by God’s grace… here are your September cover girls for @essaysofafrica magazine. Two Queens, both August babies who both lost their best friends of 15 years, got knocked down hard but chose to rise and adjust their crowns to raise their kids as single moms GRACEFULLY.”

Ayanda added: “Strange how Letshego & I were born same year, same month, few days apart, met our husbands the same year, lost them same year, lost them almost the same way) but we didn’t know each other until recently.”

Letshego Zulu plants trees on Kilimanjaro in honor of late husband

Letshego Zulu and her daughter honored her late husband’s memory by planting trees on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.

This was a special day for Letshego, even as she shared photos of the same on social media.

“Two years on and I still smile in memory of the exceptional human being Gugu Zulu  was and continues to be in my heart.”

Last year Letshego returned to conquer the mountain in Gugu’s honour.

“Trees are a gift that keeps on giving and are reminders of life! Gugu touched so many lives when he was alive and through this life-long project, will continue to touch many more. We will also set up a nursery in Marangu in his name that will keep producing trees for years to come,” said Letshego when she first launched the project.”

Letshego Zulu speaks on pain of losing hubby and picking up the pieces

#thegramsham saw many celebrities talk about their struggles in life as well as their insecurities. One of them who took part in the hashtag was Letshego Zulu.

She lost her husband in 2016. This saw her breaking down while at a cousin’s wedding.

“#thegramsham This picture was taken November 2016 at my cousins wedding. A joyous day. It was also the 1 day I fought tears the hardest and failed dismally (you can see it on my face). I truly should have been front and centre celebrating my Big Sisters special day. I struggled to sit through the church service. Struggled to dance in the street as we do at weddings. When the MC was running late, she asked me to step in and the thought of that broke me completely and I fell apart. Why? My heart was raw and naturally I was thinking of my Hubby who passed a mere 4 months prior. Yes, you see me smiling. Yes, you see me laughing. Yes, I look like “everything is alright”. Truth? The heart bleeds and the tears flow,” she wrote before giving advice.

Letshego Zulu on life as a widow

Media personality Gugu Zulu died in 2016 while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.


His death drastically changed the life of his wife Letshego, and daughter Lelethu.

Letshego got to talk about how life has been since his passing.

“The first three months were really hard until I realised that I need to pick up the pieces and continue. I often say to people Gugs was never the reason for my tears.”

She revealed that she does cry everyday.

“I cry every day, it’s only normal, it’s part of healing. But I pick myself up and continue. I’ve got a little person, a little person that I need to bring up and I need to provide her with the best experiences in life, the best adventures. She needs to live a full life and I’m the person that she looks up to.”

This year, Letshego summited Mount Kilimanjaro in honour of her late husband.
