Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the man commonly referred to as the conscience of South Africa, announced a few days ago that he was retiring from public service in order to spend more time with his family. TalkAfrique takes this opportunity to pay tribute to Arch. Tutu for his service to South Africa, the African continent and humanity in general. It was Desmond Tutu’s firebrand criticism that built the foundation to eventually bring an end to South Africa’s horrible apartheid system. Archbishop Tutu is 79. It is our hope that he will have joy and peace in the many more years that he will be with us, and that his example will guide current and future leaders of the continent
