Cape Town – Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Anti-apartheid cleric and veteran South African leader, 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.
