Over the past weekend, Mr Sirizani Butau managed to single-handedly teach Zimbabweans all over a very valuable lesson and encourage others to work together in showing their kindness. He did all this without saying a single word!<\/p>\n

Butau’s Heroic Act<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday the 24th December 2021, a fatal accident took place in Mutare in which a tanker collided with a bus. The bus then caught on fire and Butau, who was not even involved in the accident, jumped out of his truck to assist. He managed to save 8 people’s lives whilst getting burns in the process.<\/p>\n

The Rippling Effects Of Butau’s Deeds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zimbabweans came together in expressing sentiments that Butau’s heroic actions needed to be rewarded. The incident later caught the President’s attention and he shared the following sentiments:<\/p>\n

“Let me take this opportunity to appreciate Sirizani Butau who saved people from the Mutare accident. As government we will honour him for his selfless sacrifice”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other took this as a lesson in the hospitality and kindness that Zimbabweans are able to show regardless of political affiliations. A Kenyan influencer who Zimbabweans stood for until she got an apology from the government<\/a>, even shared the following statement which displays the common sentiment on the matter:<\/p>\n

As if to further prove this point, Sirizani Butau has thus far reached his weekly transcational limit on Ecocash (which amounts to $35000) as Zimbabweans all over didn’t hesitate to send him money in appreciation of his good deeds.<\/p>\n

Mr Butau commented from his Kadoma private hospital bed saying:<\/p>\n

“I am humbled by the response. It is something that I never expected. My preoccupation on the day was to help and unfortunately got injured in the process, but I am doing well.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5 people died in the accident while 60 others sustained injuries and were sent to Victoria Chitepo Hospital.<\/p>\n
