RIP Bishop Tutu.i remember him crying in one ugly occasion while he was chairman of the truth &reconciliation commission, that was when someone confessed of importing HIV carrier prostitutes from Europe &planted them in brothels in black neighborhoods.Tutu was truly a man of God.

RIP

I remember the day that I met the bishop, what a peaceful man and so sweet. Rest in peace..

May his soul rest in peace

My condolences to his family and friends. Rip
