CEO of Ncwane Communications, Ayanda Ncwane and fitness trainer Letshego Zulu are the cover stars for the September issue of Essays of Africa.

Ayanda and Letshego share quite a lot in common: from going through the unimaginable grief of losing their partners of 15 years in similar situations, to sharing the same birthday month and year.

The cover stars reveal more about their lives and raising their kids after the demise of their husbands in the cover story for the September issue.

Letshego Zulu is the widow of popular Sports Car racer Gugu Zulu who died while trying to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the Trek4Mandela expedition to raise funds for sanitary pads for school girls.

Ayanda lost gospel singer husband Sfiso Ncwane from kidney failure complications.

The issue is available for download on iTunes and Google Play.
