At the end of 2021 and the end of an extraordinary Leader’s life in Archbishop Desmond Tutu, it is only appropriate to join President Ramaphosa in expressing our heartfelt condolences to Mam Leah Tutu, the Tutu family, the board and staff of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation, the Elders and Nobel Laureate Group, and the friends, comrades and associates nationally and globally of the iconic spiritual leader, anti-apartheid activist and global human rights campaigner.
Let that sink in for a moment……
