Desmond Tutu... Freedom fighter

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Desmond Tutu

He ran the race and made a name for himself, now he has left for others to continue.

Death, a debt everyone must pay, the foolish and wise can never run away from it, he chose to call in his own time in his own style be it fashionable or unfashionable, we sometimes ask him why, but he has never answered.

Even though we grieve and wail for days it has not stopped him from visiting.

We have put so much energy in the creation of life but have not invested so much in the destruction of death.

Tutu will be Eulogized from different continents his words and works will be criticized, his wins and loss will be debated, his fears and strength will be analyzed in all of this he is gone and gone never to come back again.

Reincarnation for those who belief in it will never give you same Desmond.

I don’t believe in Rest In Peace, let those who work for peace have peace, those who deserve pains should enjoy it. He is already sleeping what other rest are we talking about.

Rip to the human right activist Bishop

Colonial stooge.

Good riddance.

The man lived a really long and productive live.

One of his best quotes

“Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument.”

Rip

He would be missed.

One of the Africa's finest Anglican Bishop.

Rest on

"When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said "Let us pray." We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.” ― Desmond Tutu.

Rest in Peace
