TANZANIA’S former president Julius Nyerere will be buried in his home country on October 23, parliamentary speaker Pius Msekwa announced on Friday. Nyerere, widely revered both at home and abroad, died Thursday morning in a London hospital at the age of 77. It was not yet clear exactly where in Tanzania Nyerere will be buried. His family are lobbying for him to be laid to rest in his birthplace of Butiama. But public opinion would seem to favour Dar es Salaam as the final resting place for ”Mwalimu” (the Teacher). Wherever he is buried, Nyerere’s body is likely to lie in state in the capital for several days.
