Friends and relatives of Archbishop Desmond Tutu gathered in his Cape Town home after his death. ‘We cannot expect a man who's given so much of his life to be there forever,’ said Dr Mamphela Ramphele, coordinator of Tutu's office
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby hailed Tutu as a "a prophet and priest" while Pope Francis offered heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson noted Tutu's "critical" role in the "struggle to create a new South Africa", while his deputy Dominic Raab said Tutu's adage of 'Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument' had "never felt more apt". Tutu and his long-time friend Mandela lived for a time on the same street in the South African township of Soweto, making Vilakazi Street the only one in the world to host two Nobel Peace Prize winners.
