Desmond Tutu, anti-apartheid icon, dies at 90
There is a suburb of Cape Town called Bishopscourt.
It is high up on the hill, near the botanical garden, and filled with Anglophone old money, trees and mansions. (1)It gets it's name of course from the "official residence of the Archbishop of Cape Town" (Anglican / Church of England).It was of course a "whites only" area under Apartheid until 1991 (2). Black people there could be assumed to be house or garden servants.When Mr Tutu was installed there as the first black Archbishop of Cape Town in 1986, he moved in without seeking exemption from this law (3). He would put on his jogging outfit and take his exercise on the streets there, smiling and waving to neighbours as if it was the most normal thing in the world.   And in time, it was.That is praxis.he was one of the best of us, always seeking a way to reach out.1) "ranked sixth richest suburb in South Africa" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishopscourt,_Cape_Town2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_Areas_Act3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Tutu#Archbishop_of_Cap...
