Marwa, who is a former Nigerian High Commissioner to South Africa in a statement on Monday, said the renowned clergyman would be remembered for his stand against apartheid in his country through non-violent means similar to Mahatma Gandhi’s approach in India.
Marwa, while commiserating with Tutu’s family, the Christendom, the people and government of South Africa, said the world will surely miss the Arch as he was fondly called as the last of a kind.
