( Reuters)-Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and veteran of South Africa's struggle against white minority rule, died on Sunday aged 90, the presidency said. Following are some reactions to his death. PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA" The passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation’s farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa." Desmond Tutu was a patriot without equal; a leader

South Africa has started a week of events in honour of anti-apartheid veteran Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who died peacefully in a Cape Town nursing home on Sunday at the age of 90.... Tutu later called the Black political elite to account with as much feistiness as he had the Afrikaners, but his enduring spirit of reconciliation always shone through and he never stopped fighting for a “ Rainbow Nation ”.... He gradually withdrew from public life and spent more time with his family in recent year

He used to look after the elders.... Usually abuzz with tourists drawn to its vibrant culture and history as a battleground during white minority rule, Vilakazi Street had a sombre mood as mourners laid flowers outside Tutu's home and sang gospel hymns.... Bishops and deans of the Anglican Church and Johannesburg Mayor Mpho Phalatse lit candles. Tutu" lived a life of servanthood and did not seek personal gain," Phalatse said....

HUGE numbers of mourners gathered outside St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town today to pay respects to anti-apartheid hero Desmond Tutu. Emotional well-wishers descended in their masses upon the South African city after the archbishop-known affectionally to the public as “ Tata ”-passed away at the age of 90 last Sunday.... 8 Desmond Tutu is spected to lie in state for three days Credit: Getty-Contributor 8 He was is being laid to rest in Cape Town, South Africa 8 The late religious leader was f
