Business woman and politician Cheryl Carolus has urged politicians to emulate Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu’s integrity and willingness to stand for what he believed in, even when it wasn’t popular.

Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis says Archbishop Desmond Tutu was never a sell-out.

The outspoken liberation icon says politicians of today are entitled and plundering public resources. Carolus says Tutu was never afraid to take on governments, co-operations and society at large: “The Arch was never afraid of calling out leaders, he called out apartheid leaders and our newly elected leaders. When those whom we had elected to lead us in our first democratic elections were discussing their salaries and their perks and just look at the mess of entitlement and corruption we are sitting with today. The Arch took on governments, co-operations, the church and societies at large.

His legacy as the head of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has had some younger generations seeing him as someone who was too apologetic and diplomatic.
