Desmond Mpilo Tutu was a South African Anglican bishop and theologian who was born in the United Kingdom. Tutu is internationally renowned for his unwavering commitment to the abolition of apartheid and the promotion of racial reconciliation in the Republic of South Africa. He served as Bishop of Johannesburg from 1985 to 1986 and then as Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996, making history as the first black African to hold the position. He was a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 and was also well-known for his compilation of multiple books of his talks and sermons, which he continued to do until his death today at the age of 90 in Century City, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.

 

 

 

 

However, you should meet Desmond Tutu’s daughter, Mpho Andrea Tutu, who is a priest and human rights crusader.

Mpho Andrea Tutu van Furth is a 58-year-old South African clergyman and civil rights activist who lives in Johannesburg.

Desmond Tutu’s final kid, she is the youngest of his four children.

As a kid, Mpho had no interest in following in her father’s footsteps as a priest, but she later described her journey into the ministry as “going the scenic way” because she sensed God calling her to the ministry. She began preaching at the historic Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia, United States, 17 years ago, following her ordination as an Episcopal priest. She has been there ever since.

Mpho has been a vocal proponent of the value of forgiveness in his work as an activist for the past many years. She made headlines when she publicly apologized to the man who murdered her housekeeper nine years ago. In the aftermath of racial tensions and police shootings in the United States, she and her father have campaigned for forgiveness.
