At the time, President Cyril Ramaphosa said Tutu was a world-class leader with a high moral character. He has served the people all his life.

Desmond Tutu was born in 1931 in Clarkdorp, known as the gold mining town. Her father was a teacher in Jakara and her mother Alta was a stay-at-home mom. He followed in his father's footsteps and chose teaching as his career. But he stopped teaching in opposition to the government's ban on black children in schools.

Tutu Bishop Trevor Hadleston and other white clergy opposed to apartheid were impressed. He was ordained a pastor in 1961. Tutu was elected the first black Anglican priest in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1975.

Tutu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his role in the fight against racism.

Tutu was one of the most famous people in the country and abroad. Tutu lived during the time of Nelson Mandela, the undisputed leader of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.

While Mandela was in prison, Tutu and his colleagues led his party. He later served as head of the anti-apartheid movement that established South Africa.
