Our last interview with Gugu Zulu

Sam Cowen met with Gugu Zulu and recorded almost 30 minutes with the inspirational sportsman as part of The Adventurers podcast series. Sadly, Gugu passed away in the early hours of 18 July, Mandela Day, while trying to summit Kilimanjaro for a charitable cause. Gugu Zulu wanted to be a racing car driver from his childhood. He never accepted no for an answer, despite facing very tough odds. He was unwavering in his belief he could realise his dream and had an international racing career to prove it!  #RIPGuguZulu See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Meet death-defying Grant Lottering

Grant’s cycling career could have ended when he slammed into a wall at over 60kms an hour during a race and he shattered his body. A year after he was told he would never ride again later he was back on the bike with a new goal, to make the impossible into the I’m-possible.
