Leaving no grave for bigots and no DNA for nextgen cloning. Meaning there will be never be another Desmond Tutu

No need for cloning - we all have the capacity to become the next Desmond Tutus cheesy. But he has a pastor daughter as well - Mpho Tutu, so his legacy will live on in her.

Death is inevitable; all I'm praying for is God blessing and more money to put things in orders in my family and few people I can reach before I start to d go my own. At least 77- 80yrs even 83 will be ok for me

Rest in peace Archbishop

You do not need another Desmond, cos that Era will not repeat itself. Do not provide solution to an I existent problem.

Problem with Israel and Palestine is that unlike South Africa, they see themselves as 'separate polities'

The South African situation,at least you guys saw yourselves as one country ( yes, I am aware of the various divisions and so on) but you were operating from the one country situation. Even when the whole Bantustan and ' good neighbor' policy came up,it died in the water because most black people still lived in South Africa proper.

Mandela and tutu at least operated on the vision of one South Africa United under multiracial leadership.

Israel and Palestine? If someone were to come and start speaking about a unified country of Jews and Arabs,no one, not even the liberals, would listen to him. Too much anger. No equivalent of a rev tutu there. ( At least most South African s follow some form of Christianity, so there was some form of conmon understanding. Someone like Rev tutu could speak in a language that everyone would have understood. Israel and Palestine dont have that. )

If there is an afterlife, I imagine him and Nelson Mandela meeting and chilling over a bottle of wine...

Even in death, he still had the needy in mind. Simple hearted man!


Rest in Peace, God's general

Hmmm, interesting points cool cool cool - especially that SA atleast shared a common destiny. Good neighbourliness is also an attractive prospect in the Middle East though.

I still think a Desmond Tutu can arise in the Middle East, atleast as someone who could quell the tensions and gain the trust of both sides. It seems impossible but then it's not easy being a "Desmond Tutu" or Nobel Peace Prize winner, is it?

Only remembered by what we have done.

The memory of the righteous shall not perish.
But at the mention of the wicked like Abacha, Azikiwe, Awolowo and other wicked dead Nigeria leaders, the people hisses.

Good night God's General.
Forever Remembered for Good!

I hope Nigerian Anglican bishops are reading this, and will take a cue from this godly man. Nigerian Anglican bishops are largely rogues, living site large, fr0licking with evil politicians, and capitalising on people’s gullibility. Tutu fought and defeated the apartheid regime, fought against corruption and all manners of human rights violations. Unlike Bishop Ademowo who retired, admittedly pocketing 260 million naira of church money.

The Cathedral's bells have been ringing for 10 minutes every day at noon since his death. The 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner died on Sunday, aged 90.

Tutu’s simple pine coffin with rope handles, adorned with a single bunch of white carnations, was carried into St. George’s, which provided a safe haven for anti-apartheid activists during the repressive white-minority rule.

His body was received by Most Revd. Dr. Thabo Cecil Makgoba, Archbishop of Cape Town.

Priests burnt incense as Tutu's simple wooden coffin was carried into the cathedral.

Tutu's eldest daughter Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe, accompanied by other family elders, walked slowly behind as the coffin entered his former parish.

His frail wife Leah had been wheeled into the church earlier.

He had clear wishes for his funeral and plans to honour him;


---Simples---life and death should not be complicated---dust to dust---ashes to ashes---
