Importing geometry fields for GeoDjango

I've tried to capture a stacktrace, but the error seems to take down my terminal. I've exported the contents of a shapefile to CSV using GeoPandas:

And I try to import on this model:

from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from postgres_copy import CopyManager

class Timezone(models.Model):
    tzid = models.CharField(max_length=80)

    # GeoDjango geometry
    geom = models.MultiPolygonField(srid=4326)

    # CopyManager

    objects = CopyManager()

    def __str__(self):
        representative_string = f"TZID: {self.tzid}"
        return representative_string

# Auto-generated `LayerMapping` dictionary for  Timezone model
timezone_mapping = {
    "tzid": "tzid",
    "geom": "MULTIPOLYGON",
}

But I get an error that crashes the terminal. Is this plugin able to work with geometry columns for GeoDjango? Do I need to do something different? The CSV is too big to attach, but you can see the file I am converting from here:

Thanks!

Here is the management command, quoted, and linked.

I have moved it out of the management directory for now because it is not working and I don't want it in with things that are working, but on my local filesystem I have kept it in the proper location.

from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand
from locations.models import *
from utilities import *
from django.conf import settings

# logging

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger("django")

class Command(BaseCommand):

    def handle(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # Since the CSV headers match the model fields,
        # you only need to provide the file's path (or a Python file object)

        timezones_csv = settings.TABULAR_DATA_SUBDIRECTORY / "tz.csv"

        column_to_field_mapping = {"tzid": "tzid", "geom": "geometry"}

        Timezone.objects.all().delete()
        insert_count = Timezone.objects.from_csv(
            timezones_csv,
            mapping=column_to_field_mapping,
        )

        message = ""
        message += f"{insert_count} records inserted"
        logger.info(message)
