Chegutu West Member of Parliament Shackmore Timburwa of ZANU PF has been honoured at the Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Mausoleum in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in a ceremony steeped in symbolism and pan-African unity.

The recognition was revealed by commentator C.H. Mukungunugwa via a post on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting Timburwa's rare privilege of planting a historic Sheer Fruits tree at the resting place of Tanzania's founding father.

"Timburwa was granted the rare privilege of planting a tree at Nyerere's mausoleum - not just any tree, but a historic Sheer Fruits tree brought from Uganda. This is the very species under which Mwalimu Nyerere used to sit during the liberation struggle, reflecting, strategising, and dreaming of Africa's freedom," Mukungunugwa posted.

 
Speaking at the ceremony, Timburwa described the act as deeply symbolic.

"Today I carried not just a tree, but a memory, a legacy, and a bond between nations. To plant it on his resting place is to root history in the soil of remembrance, to connect the struggles of yesterday with the hopes of today," he said.

The tree now stands as a living monument to unity, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of liberation - a testament to the shared struggles and victories that bind Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda, and the broader African continent.
 
 
Mwalimu Nyerere is interred at his homestead in rural Butiama. I suppose that’s where Honourable Timburwa planted the tree. Thank you, Honourable for representing us who loved Mwalimu. Travelling all 1000 kms from Dar to be plant the tree was no mean feat. Asante sana, Mheshimiwa. Bulawayo 24 News
