Desmond Tutu 'is the last of an extraordinarily outstanding generation of leaders that Africa birthed and gifted to the world' said Graca Machel, the widow of Nelson Mandela:

"He stood resolute and fearless, leading demonstrations cloaked in his flowing clerical robe with his cross as his shield -- the embodiment of humankind's moral conscience."

Flowers are seen in front of a photograph of the late Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu at the St Georges Cathedral , Cape Town, South Africa, 27 December 2021.On Friday, his remains will be placed in the cathedral on the eve of the funeral, although attendance at his farewell on Saturday will be capped at 100, according to the archbishop of Cape Town, Thabo Makgoba.But Mr Makgoba told a press conference: "Only a fraction of those who want to be there can be accommodated in the cathedral.

Panyaza Lesufi, a senior member of the African National Congress , which swept aside apartheid and remains in power, said Tutu's unique status had provided a "shield" during protests.
