office of South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa, who praised Tutu as “a patriot without equal; a leader of principle and pragmatism who gave meaning to the biblical insight that faith without works is dead.”Tutu, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, became one of the most prominent critics of South Africa’s policy of racial segregation and discrimination overseen by a white minority government against the country’s Black majority from 1948 until 1991.

He became a strong advocate for economic sanctions against the country to force sweeping changes that ultimately came under FW De Klerk, the country’s last apartheid-era leader who shared a 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Nelson Mandela and who died last month at age 85.
