10 Years Later: Letshego Zulu Opens Up About Gugu, Kilimanjaro and Life Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gugu Zulu was my friend. I still consider him my friend. Ten years after we lost Gugs on Mount Kilimanjaro, I finally had the opportunity to sit down with Letshego Zulu and talk about that mountain, the man we both loved and the incredible life she has built since.

From there, she began the incredibly difficult journey of picking up the pieces and choosing to live, something she would later write abo

Good Things with Brent Lindeque: Warren Myers on Building AURA! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A South African idea born in Johannesburg is changing the way people get help in an emergency. Warren Myers is the Founder and CEO of AURA, a technology company launched in 2017 after he recognised a frustrating problem: we could get a taxi or even a pizza faster than we could get emergency assistance. AURA uses technology to connect people in trouble with the closest vetted security or medical responders, and today that network has expanded from South Africa into Kenya, the UK and the United St
