Desmond Tutu ... R.I.P

South Africa's Desmond Tutu has passed away aged 90. We met him, purely by chance, in his Church in Cape Town many years ago, such a gentle peace loving man.

R.I.P.

If you leave this world with the respect of the world then you’ve done a pretty good job.

RIP

He got too involved in politics for my liking. Politics and religion do not mix well.

I think it was quite acceptable in the circumstances, and seemed to have a beneficial effect on de Klerk.

All he wanted was fairness for all people in South Africa. He fought continuously against Apartheid and for that he deserves respect. RIP.

Re: Davids post

I would normally agree with that statement but his beliefs/religion gave politics a chance to work for all of South Africa not just the white elite so I'm happy to show forgiveness this time

To an extent but his influence was always aimed at achieving a peaceful conclusion to a massive problem, it was basically a powder keg waiting to go off. We were in Cape Town for a while during the period of Apartheid and the injustices had to be seen to be believed.
