Nobel Peace Prize laureate, anti-apartheid campaigner and former Archbishop of Cape Town, Desmond Tutu, with the wife Mrs. Nomalizo Leah Tutu will be making his final official public appearance in Ghana.
Credible information available to Asempa News indicate he will be the guest of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on September 23 and later visit President John Evans Atta-Mills on the 24th. A source told Asempa News he is expected to be a guest of the Millennium Excellence Awards.
Desmond Mpilo Tutu (born 7 October 1931) is a South African activist and cleric who rose to worldwide fame during the 1980s as an opponent of apartheid.
He was the first black South African Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa, and primate of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (now the Anglican Church of Southern Africa).
Tutu has been active in the defence of human rights and uses his high profile to campaign for the oppressed.
He has campaigned to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, homophobia, poverty and racism. Tutu received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, the Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism in 1986, the Gandhi Peace Prize in 2005, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009 and was inducted into the Golden Key International Honour Society as an Honorary Member in 2001, by the University of Stellenbosch.
