The Democratic Alliance (DA) wishes living icon and hero, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu a joyful 85th birthday.
The Arch’s contribution to the country, its people and the democratic project is profound and we thank him for his continued work of building a non-racial, non-sexist and fair South Africa.
Archbishop Tutu teaches South Africa humility and the resilience to fight the good fight no matter the circumstances, because as the old adage goes, evil prevails when good women and men standby and do nothing.
We wish Archbishop Tutu good health as he recovers at home after being recently discharged from hospital.
May Archbishop Tutu continue to inspire and guide present and future leaders at home and across the world.
