Addio  all’arcivescovo sudafricano Desmond Tutu, 90 anni, premio Nobel per la pace e simbolo della lotta all’apartheid.

«La scomparsa dell’arcivescovo emerito Desmond Tutu è un altro capitolo di lutto nell’addio della nostra Nazione a una generazione di eccezionali sudafricani che ci hanno lasciato in eredità un Sudafrica liberato», ha affermato il presidente Cyril Ramaphosa.
