South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu back in hospital
JOHANNESBURG — South African anti-apartheid campaigner Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has admitted himself to a Cape Town hospital for treatment of a recurring infection, according to his family foundation.
The 84-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner is expected to remain in the hospital for a week or two, said the statement issued by the foundation late Wednesday.
Tutu underwent similar treatment last year, when he was hospitalized several times.
Updated information will be released when it is available, said the archbishop’s daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe.
