Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma on Friday conveyed “his good wishes” to Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu on his 85th birthday.
“Archbishop Emeritus Tutu has contributed immensely to the freedom and democratic dispensation we achieved as a country. He continues to inspire the nation and the world in the promotion of human rights, justice and the wellbeing of all especially the poor,” said Zuma.
“We wish him a joyful birthday, good health and comfort and urge the nation to keep him and his family in their thoughts and prayers.”
