Anti-apartheid icon Desmond Tutu dies at 90
The HinduSouth African anti-apartheid icon Archbishop Desmond Tutu, described as the country's moral compass, died on Sunday aged 90, sparking an outpouring of tributes for the outspoken Nobel Peace Prize winner. "The passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation's farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa," he said, weeks after the death of FW de Klerk, the country's last white president. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was "deeply saddened" by Tutu's death, calling him a "critical figure" in the struggle to create a new South Africa. It was Tutu who coined the term "Rainbow Nation" to describe South Africa when Nelson Mandela became the country's first black president in 1994.
