The Archbishop Emeritus loved Imilonji ka Ntu, the renowned Johannesburg choir. Singing so beautifully at his funeral ♥️

Our beloved Archbishop Emeritus is commended to God, entrusted to the love and mercy of our God.

[St. George's CT @sgcathedral]

“How fitting that his parents named him ‘Mpilo’ which means ‘life’?”

@CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA delivers a powerful eulogy for the Archbishop Emeritus, reflecting on his life & fight for justice and for the oppressed.

[St. George's CT @sgcathedral]

Alleluia, Christ is risen!

May you rest in eternal peace and rise in glory beloved Archbishop Emeritus.

As the coffin leaves the Church, the Cathedral Choir sings the Anthem

Cathedral Bells are rung and the clergy and bishops present form a guard of honour along the
path to the hearse.

I lived in a time, when it was easy to believe in heroes. I lived in the time of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. A true humanatarian and hero to a nation.

You have tended the wounds of noble strife, the wounds of Ubuntu;
enter now into the full embrace of the great and generous God you served.”
