Revered anti-apartheid campaigner Desmond Tutu has died age 90 www.BBC.co.uk/news/world-africa-59793726. A figure many of us will remember well as pretty much a lone voice speaking out for black South Africa during the apartheid years |

He was an important voice when all the most prominent leaders of the anti-apartheid movement in SA were either imprisoned, murdered or in exile. He was very brave in stepping in to prevent mobs killing people during demonstrations which got out of control. He was later very critical of the corruption and self enrichment of the ANC in government. A giant of the 20 century. RIP.

We won’t see the likes of people like this again. |
