Desmond Tutu’s lucrative trade in clichés

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been given $1M for “Speaking Truth to Power”.

In criticising Tutu, I know I am beating a dead horse, so, going forward, I should probably take the high road by giving him some tough love. Still, it is what it is.

From here:

Veteran peace campaigner Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been awarded $1m (£620,000) by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation for “speaking truth to power”.

The London-based Foundation called the cleric “one of Africa’s great voices for justice, freedom, democracy and responsible, responsive government”.

He won the Nobel Peace Prize – and 10m Swedish Krona (£935,000) – in 1984 for his campaign against apartheid.
