MBOMBELA- The province’s experienced mountain climber and expedition leader, Sibusiso broke down in tears on Wednesday evening, repeatedly apologising to the country for the death of car racing champion Gugu Zulu while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
Vilane began by explaining how he told 40 climbers who would be joining him for the Trek4Mandela expedition about the difficult terrain they would face. He said he explained to all the climbers that they were going up a tough Kilimanjaro.
