This file photo taken on August 03, 2016 showsSouth African anti-apartheid activist and Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu arriving to cast his vote in the South African local government elections at Milnerton High School in Cape Town.South Africa’s retired archbishop Desmond Tutu will this week undergo minor surgery to fix an undisclosed but persistent infection, his family said on September 6, 2016.
The widow of South Africa’s first black president Nelson Mandela, Graca Machel, on Monday mourned “the loss of a brother.” The bells of St. George’s will ring for 10 minutes from noon each day until Friday. The church has asked those who hear the sound to pause in their daily work and think of Tutu. Ordained at the age of 30 and appointed archbishop in 1986, he used his position to advocate tirelessly for international sanctions against apartheid.
He excoriated the African National Congress for fostering cronyism, corruption and incompetence after it was voted into office. Queen Elizabeth II, Pope Francis, French President Emmanuel Macron were among those who paid tribute to him.
May He RIP.
