Archbishop Desmond Tutu was one of South Africa’s finest patriots and he carried the burden of leadership with dignity and humour.
These are some of the things President Cyril Ramaphosa said in his tribute to the late Nobel laureate.
Tutu died on Sunday at the age of 90 in Cape Town.
“We’ve lost one of the most illustrious, courageous and beloved among us,” Ramaphosa said.
The president said Tutu was one of our nation’s finest patriots.
“He was a man of unwavering courage, of principled conviction, and whose life was spent in the service of others. He embodied the essence of our humanity.
“We have lost a person who carried the burden of leadership with compassion, with dignity, with humility and with such good humour.
“We are comforted in the knowledge that he has left an indelible mark in the lives of the millions of people who had the privilege and honour of knowing him.”
Ramaphosa said there will be a period of mourning during which the national flag will fly at half-mast at all flag stations countrywide and at South African diplomatic missions abroad.
