The legacy of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu is under the spotlight with some accusing him of being a sell-out, but the Dean at St George’s Cathedral Michael Weeder has come to Tutu’s defence. RIPDesmondTutu

Tutu’s legacy came under widespread scrutiny immediately after his passing was announced, with pointing to the widely shared video on social media of his exchange with the late Winnie Madikizela-Mandela where he begged her to apologise for her responsibility in the murder of Stompie Seipei.“In the days of the struggle, the Archbishop understood the role of those who sought a different path.

Weender has described Tutu as “a wonderful example of the maximisation of ubuntu” – a concept that he says was not just a mere slogan to him, but rather a life he lived. “You see some of us in humanity feel like we don’t belong, that we are not worthy and that we a different, whether we are gay or whether you are white, whether you are black or whatever … we don’t belong at the table. And others also feel one doesn’t belong, one is not clever enough, too light, too dark.

Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on the public to remember those who lost their lives in 2021, including Tutu, who will be laid to rest tomorrow after passing away at the age of 90.“In the course of the year, we have lost men and women who were pillars of strength in our communities, leaders, activists and veterans of our struggle for liberation. Tomorrow, the nation will gather in spirit to lay to rest our beloved Archbishop Tutu.

Those who accused the arch of being a Sellout are the very sellouts for not standing up to the previous government and the current government. Some are so bloody stupid that they burn down the very institutions that their children and grandchildren must use tomorrow😰😰
