Desmond Tutu discharged from hospital after ‘recurring infection’

Anti-apartheid cleric and veteran South African leader, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, was released from hospital on Tuesday after being re-admitted for a recurring infection related to treatment for his prostate cancer.
His daughter, Rev. Canon Mpho Tutu, said that her 83-year-old father who was hospitalised over the weekend at a Cape Town hospital, would continue his recovery at home.
“The infection was a consequence of treatment for prostate cancer that the Archbishop has received over the past 18 years.
“The cancer, itself, was well under control,” she said.
The Nobel peace laureate, retired from public life in 2010, but has kept speaking out in a wide range of issues, including corruption among South Africa’s political elite.
