Details: R1 Sterling Silver Coin Mass: 15 grams Diameter: 32.69mm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Desmond Mpilo Tutu Desmond Mpilo Tutu was born inKlerksdorp,Transvaal, the second of the three children of Zacheriah Zililo Tutu and his wife, Aletta, and the only son.Tutu’s family moved toJohannesburg when he was twelve. His father was a teacher and his mother was a cleaner and cook at a school for the blind.Here he metTrevor Huddleston, who was a parish priestin the black slum ofSophia Town. “One day,” said Tutu, “I was standing in the street with my mother when a white man in a priest’s clothing walked past. As he passed us he took off his hat to my mother. I couldn’t believe my eyes—a white man who greeted a black working class woman!” Although Tutu wanted to become a doctor, his family could not afford the training, and he followed his father’s footsteps into teaching. Tutu studied at the Pretoria Bantu Normal College from 1951 to 1953 and went on to teach at Johannesburg Bantu High School and at Munsienville High School in Mogale City. However, he resigned following the passage of theBantu Education Act, in protest of the poor educational prospects for black South Africans. He continued his studies, this time intheology, atSt Peter’s Theology College inRosettenville, Johannesburg, and in 1960 was ordained as anAnglicanpriestfollowing in the footsteps of his mentor and fellow activist,Trevor Huddleston. Tutu then travelled to King’s College London, (1962–1966), where he received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in theology. During this time he worked as a part-time curate, first at St Alban’s Church, Golders Green, and then at St Mary’s Church in Bletchingley, Surrey. He later returned to South Africa and from 1967 until 1972 used his lectures to highlight the circumstances of the African population. source Wikipedea ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
