By Paul Nyathi|A young Zimbabwean artist has produced probably the best local artefact to remember the late great musician Oliver Mtukudzi with.

Artist, Liberty Shuro has drawn a million dollar worth picture of Tuku with his own hand and paraded it on his Facebook page.

After finishing the art, Shuro wrote on his Facebook page:

One of African giants has once again fallen. We are saddened by the unfortunate event which has robbed us of a great musician, icon, philanthropist . True to his sound & word, through music, he touched on many lives, positively influenced the world. To me he was more than a mentor, a father, a role model. The world is both mourning and celebrating such an inspirational icon. He will never be replaced by any other. I am sorry to the Mtukudzi Family.

As an artist, I have created this gift to immortalize our icon Dr Oliver Mtukudzi as he shall forever be remembered. His work & influence will always be alive in us all until end of times for generations and myriads of days to come. Help me pay this tribute through my drawing.

I will always remember what he taught us, “if you do not do you, the world has lost you”.
