The life of Desmond Tutu

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, has died aged 90. Throughout his life, he used his platform to advocate for the oppressed.

Tutu stood hand in hand with Nelson Mandela on the day he became South Africa's first democratically elected president. The pair changed the nation.

When asked in 2003 what he thought of the impending war with Iraq, he responded by saying 'give peace a chance'. A man of morals and decency, who had to jump through so many hurdles for freedom. RIP Desmond Tute 🙏🏽🕊

Great man who taught millions morals is the key to freedom. May his soul rest in peace. He deserves a state funeral service for his lifelong humanitarian services.
