ARCHBISHIP DESMOND MPILO TUTU

 Archbishop Tutu was born in 1931 in Klerksdorp, North West Province. His father was a teacher and he himself was educated at the Johannesburg Bantu High School. After leaving school he trained first as a teacher at thePretoria Bantu Normal College, and in 1954 he graduated from the University of South Africa with a BA degree. After three years as a high school teacher he began to study theology, being ordained as a priest in 1960. The years from 1962 to 1966 where devoted to further theological study in England leading up to a Master of theology qualification. In 1975 he was appointed Dean of St Mary's Cathedral in Johannesburg, the first black person to hold that position. In 1985 he became Archbishop of Johannesburg, in 1986 he became Archbishop of Cape Town and head of the Anglican Church in Southern Africa. After retiring as Archbishop in 1996 he became Chairperson of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa.

The 2006 coin series depicts Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. His clear standpoints and his fearless attitude have made his name a unifiying symbol for all groups of freedom campainers in Africa. This charismatic man is a true humanitarian in every respect and he rejoices in the human spirit.

The Nobel Peace Laureate was bestowed on Archbishop Tutu in recognition of his non violent campaign to limit international trade and investment activities in South Africa. He established the Southern African Refugee Scholarship Fund with his Nobel Peace Prize Fund, enabling disadvantaged students to further their studies.
