Known for his role as a social activist, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu never shied away from speaking out on topical issues in politics and society and in his church.
“We really need a change. The ANC was very good at leading us in the struggle to be free from oppression. They were a good freedom-fighting unit. But it doesn't seem to me now that a freedom-fighting unit can easily make the transition to becoming a political party,” Tutu said.While SA has legalised same-sex marriage, the Anglican Church believes a marriage is between a man and a woman.
“I would not worship a God who is homophobic, and that is how deeply I feel about this. I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever was about apartheid. For me, it is at the same level,” Tutu said on his foundation's website.
