Chief Musarurwa has described President Robert Mugabe as walking encyclopedia and historical archives for both SADC region and the continent of Africa.
Speaking in parliament Musarurwa said at the conclusion of President Mugabe's tenure as African Union Chairman, President Zuma of South Africa described him as a "very astute" and "clear thinker".
"In addition, whilst congratulating President Mugabe on the occasion of his 92nd birthday, the President of China, Xinping, said "Your splendid and penetrating insights into the development of China-Africa relations made profound impression on me"
"His Excellency, President Mugabe has been described as a walking encyclopedia and historical archives for both SADC region and the continent of Africa. He is always able to articulate the position of the previously colonised masses eloquently and with unmatched vigour," said Musarurwa.
"President Mugabe is a fountain of wisdom, and his rich and inspirational addresses at different fora, on several occasions are stopped by sustained applause and extended ovation, provoke memories of other great speeches at the inception of Organisation of African Unity by fellow illustrious giants such as Ahmed Ben Bella, Haile Selassie I, Julius Nyerere and Kwame Nkrumah."
He said senators were aware that President Mugabe, an accomplished statesman in his own right, belongs to a crop of iconic and first generation of African leaders whose exceptional devotion to principles of justice and emancipation of black African people from colonial oppression, prompted them to stand up and risked their own lives, defeated colonialism and liberated the entire African.
"A classic servant leader, Cde.Mugabe, has rare listening abilities, empathy foresight, stewardship and commitment to the growth of others has made an indelible impact of the work of African Union and SADC," he said.
"President Mugabe's contribution to African Union made an indelible impact on the work of African Union and SADC."
