Looking back at the life of Archbishop Desmond Tutu - BBC Africa 

A warrior who went to war without a physical gun on his hand but spiritual gun in his heart and mouth by the Spirit of God who is in him and help him to prevail

In an age of online raging cancel culture , his passing needs to be the final warning. Because famous leaders like Mandela MLK , and he, Desmond Tutu was always convinced to be against retributive justice, and wants forgiveness and restorative justice. I'm convinced Tutu would never approve cancel culture. Cancel culture isn't restorative justice.

Rest in peace our beloved Arch!! We are saddened as the icons of the struggle are passing and with it the moral compass of the movement is diminishing. Forever grateful for your contribution.

A shame. Though not a surprise at 90 and a life well-lived. I met him once in Cape Town. Ran into him quite unexpectedly in a parking garage. My girlfriend at the time saw him coming and ran up to him quite excitedly. Gave the 2 large bodyguards with him a small shock! Despite the odd place and timing he was warm and gracious to us both.

President Obama awarded Archbishop Tutu the Medal of Freedom, and referred to him as his Mentor and Moral Compass!

Well there must be an end to human life. May his soul rest in peace, perfect, eternal, .... peace. Goodbye my look alike.

Rest in paradise 👑 Tutu was a great man

Rest in Peace hero✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

He lived a full life with purpose...90yrs of full human service and purpose.

My God--what a loss! I am saddened, but hopeful that others will pick up and carry on, for such is the way of life. Rest in Power, Archbishop Tutu! 🦋

Desmond R.I.P

I can only share my favourite Quote of his. " 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

Shocked by the news RIP ach

History will remember the supporting role you played in ending apartheid and returning governance to the indigenous South Africans. May your soul rest in eternal peace as you transition to be with Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, first black President of South Africa.

Rest in peace papa

Tutu was a great man. Not least because he was consistent - he campaigned against Apartheid but was no stooge for the ANC either

Thanks BBC

What a hero , 👏 very sad that consciousness and conscience has died who will now stand against injustice within the country of South Africa who will now carry that torch for change and righteousness pray 🙏

True...rest in peace🇰🇪

Peacemaker His Grace Archbishop Desmond Tutu is one of the last great icon of the 20th century. He have fought the good fight, He have finished the race, He have kept the faith. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. RIP.

rest friend of africa

Rip pa pa tutu you will never be forgotten for your legacy amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Rest in Peace Tutu ,indeed you preached the message of the Gospels

I am not religious at all!!!! I think religion is over all corrupt. Very few act very Jesus like. This man along with the new Pope are very few that I love and respect. Wished every person that claims to be religious would act and be like this wonderful beautiful man!!! Maybe then none believers like me will come closer to Religion.

Desmond tutu the legend ❤️

Respect to my brother for all he did , all he fought for. Rest in power.

😍😍😍

Great person

Q - Why didn't anyone ever take Bishop Tutu seriously? A - Because he was just a hoot.

May his peaceful soul rest in eternal peace 😢

Papa Desmond Tutu RIP

1st Thessalonians 4:13-18.True Ambassador of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Rest in perfect peace. Good night.

Wow! If this Archbishop was Catholic, he chose the wrong religion as the Roman Catholic Church is right there in the book of Revelations!!!

True man of God! 🙏

RIP

Truth. He promoted forgiveness to all those devils who murdered an untold number of black people and drug Winnie Mandela into that same so called truth and reconciliation. He and Nelson Mandela denounced a true women . Dam both of them

Row Row Row Your Boat Song with Lyrics 3:11 3:11

Ask Mugabe about TUTU!

He gone but not for gent

A long life , well lived. Rest in Peace Sir.🙏🙏🙏

Apartheid is alive and well in MENA where AI weaponry is being developed that will make climate change look like a holiday. The beings who have disabled our nuclear weapons need to address this and do unto them what we are too frit to do ourselves.

ta si ni lornoci.

The guy was a sellout

A pity he did not like Israel…… being a ‘biblical’, scholar, you think he should have known better!!! ?

He did not serve the God of the Bible, but rather the god of his own free will. What a poor slave of humanism.

Tutu denied the authority of God's Scripture on many key issues and certainly cannot be considered a true Christian, let alone a leader. By the obvious lack of evidence of repentnce, he most likely is now suffering God's eternal wrath in hell. Read your Bible and dont be so easily deceived by the so-called false prophets we are so earnestly warned about in the Bible.

He wasn’t really an archbishop The Anglican Church is invalid

Okay, Good News, Archbishop Desmond was not Catholic!! Thank God for Righteousness!!

Tutu loved popularity. Tutu loved the accalaids of men more than preaching truth. Poor Soul. Tutu ended up preaching that Sodomy was a pure act before God... It's this grave error that places his soul in serious peril...

Fake priest

Rest in peace

Rest in peace
