Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74388, member: 636"] Archbishop Ernest Paul Mwazha got buried at Chirasauta Mountain after passing away at 107, and thousands showed up to pay respects to the founder of the African Apostolic Church. The government declared him a national hero because of his work supporting freedom fighters during the liberation struggle, and he ran four retail shops that supplied clothes and food to the cause. Speakers at the funeral talked about how he spent 66 years building up the church, which spread way beyond Zimbabwe's borders. The dude was born during a deadly influenza outbreak, and his mom named him Mamvura because everyone figured he wouldn't make it. He ended up becoming a teacher, wrote two books about his life, and left behind 10 kids plus over 200 descendants across multiple generations. Officials thanked President Mnangagwa for giving him national hero status, and church members said they'll keep celebrating his teachings and legacy. [/QUOTE]
