South Africa has started a week of mourning events for legendary anti-apartheid figure Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Bishop Tutu has been described as the country’s moral compass with tributes pouring in from across the world.
Tutu who passed away at age 90 will be remembered in part for his easy smile and humorous personality according to the Guardian. A key figure in the dismantling of the racially oppressive apartheid system. He was the first Black African to hold the position of Bishop of Johannesburg and Arch Bishop of Cape town from 1985 to 1986 and then 1986 to 1996 respectively.
Tutu waged a constant fight against injustice of any colour and won several accolades for his work including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984.
Mr Tutu was a good man, a man of peace. The tragedy behind the scenes is that he allegedly then realized there’s gonna be No Peace without land reform, redistribution of the Stolen Africans land, after he learned that former U.S secretary of state J Kerry under Clinton, made some special trips to South Africa in order to shake Mandela up to not go any further than removing apartheid ‘whites-only’ laws, no land reform, no economic inclusion, like MLK tried. If he does, Kerry threatened the U.S would destabilize South Africa using the United States and Zimbabwe as a model. Here we are in this new mess today.
