A seven-day send-off is being organised for the late Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu in Cape Town.
That’s according to church officials including Archbishop Thabo Makgoba and St George’s Cathedral dean Rev Michael Weeder who said that the plans include a lying in state ceremony, an ecumenical service as well as a requiem mass.
Makgoba told TimesLIVE on Sunday that he was en route to Tutu’s home following a briefing at the Cape Town civic centre and visit to the cathedral, where he would meet “Mama Leah” and their four children to finalise plans for the funeral and other events.
