Description
I Choose to Live: Life After Losing Gugu by Letshego Zulu is a deeply moving memoir about love, loss, grief, and the courageous decision to keep living fully after unimaginable tragedy. Letshego tells the story of her life with her beloved husband Gugu Zulu — the South African adventurer, businessman, and motivational figure — and the devastating aftermath of his sudden death while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in 2016. Praised by Azania Mosaka of Radio 702 as a reminder to live fully and joyously rising from the ashes of tragedy, this book is a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
Letshego opens up with raw honesty about the shock of losing her partner while she was still a new mother, the overwhelming waves of grief that followed, the pressure of mourning in the public eye, the journey of raising their daughter alone, and the daily choice to find purpose, joy, and meaning even in the darkest seasons. She writes not from a place of having everything figured out, but from the messy, real, ongoing process of rebuilding a life when the person you built it with is gone.
This book speaks powerfully to readers across Kenya and East Africa — particularly anyone who has experienced the loss of a spouse or loved one, young mothers navigating life after tragedy, and anyone searching for the courage to keep going when the weight of grief feels unbearable. It’s also an inspiring story of African love, partnership, and the adventurous spirit that Gugu embodied and that Letshego continues to carry forward.
A beautiful, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful read for anyone who believes in choosing life even after loss.
