PRESIDENT Thabo Mbeki will on Monday deliver a eulogy for former Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere at a memorial service in Pretoria’s Catholic Cathedral, the president’s office said. He and a high-powered South African delegation would also attend Nyerere’s state funeral in Tanzania’s national stadium in Dar-Es-Salaam on Thursday, presidential aide Parks Mankahlana said. Mankahlana was unable to say which cabinet ministers will accompany the president. Nyerere will be buried in a private family ceremony at his home village, Butiama, in western Tanzania, on October 23. Mbeki on Wednesday ordered the South African flag to be flown at half mast in tribute to Nyerere, who was a leading proponent of sanctions against the former apartheid government. Nyerere, widely revered both at home and abroad, died Thursday morning in a London hospital at the age of 77. Nyerere’s body is likely to lie in state in Dar Es Salaam for several days.
