Archbishop Desmond Tutu dies at the age of 90.


Desmond was Nobel Peace Prize laureate and veteran of South Africa’s struggle against white minority rule.

President Cyril Ramaphosa pays tribute to the icon.

“The passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation’s farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa,” Cyril said on Sunday.

He “distinguished himself as a non-sectarian, inclusive champion of universal human rights”, Ramaphosa added.

Tutu was one of South Africa’s legends, famously known across the globe due to his impact in the country.
