South African
anti-apartheid activist and veteran cleric, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, has been
discharged from hospital where he received an intravenous course of antibiotics
over the past two weeks, the foundation that bears his name said on Friday. Reuters reports that the
83-year-old, who used the pulpit to preach against apartheid, had been admitted
to hospital for the second time in August for treatment of an
"inflammation".
Tutu
has been receiving treatment for a recurring infection unrelated to the
prostate cancer he has been fighting for 18 years, his family has previously
said.
Tutu, a Nobel peace
laureate who used the pulpit to preach against apartheid, retired from public
life in 2010 but has kept speaking out in a wide range of issues, including
corruption among South Africa's political elite.
