The funeral of the late struggle stalwart, Archbishop Desmond Tutu is due to take place at the St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town on Saturday.

Tutu was known as a moral voice in South Africa.He publicly warned and challenged the apartheid government and also mediated between warring factions in the difficult 80’s and 90’s.The man in the purple robe – that entwined politics and the church – to fight against injustice.

He – however – had many critics from the State to ordinary white South Africans who marched holding placards labelling him the devil.However, he soldiered on emerging as the moral authority. Despite the obvious racial divisions, The Arch clung to a dream of a non-racial south Africa: “We are the rainbow people of God … We are free … All of us, black and white together we are free.”His long and steadfast commitment to the ANC was shaken to the core as he butted heads with the organisation.He opposed Mbeki for his stance on AIDS, accused him of stifling debate and lamented Black Economic Empowerment for enriching a few elites.
