Tutu

    When I was growing up in South Africa and living through its transition to democracy, Desmond Tutu was the voice of morality that helped to banish apartheid and give birth to the ‘rainbow nation’, a term he coined to celebrate the diverse cultures in South Africa. When Mandela’s government came to power, Tutu led the painful Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which helped the country confront its shadow past, grieve its losses and start to heal. Later, as a member of The Elders, his compassion, wisdom and humour shone brightly. He was a leader who embodied thriving. RIP Desmond Tutu.
