12月26日，南非的圣公会大主教、南非真相与和解委员会（Truth and Reconciliation Commission）主席德斯蒙德·图图(Desmond Tutu)在南非开普敦病逝，享年90岁。
美国前总统奥巴马将这位牧师描述为“导师、朋友和道德指南针”。图图大主教是纳尔逊曼德拉的同时代人，是南非反种族隔离运动的推动者之一。奥巴马在推特上表示：“图图大主教扎根于他自己国家的解放和正义斗争，但也关注各地的不公正现象。他从来没有失去顽皮的幽默感和在他的对手身上找到人性的意愿，米歇尔和我会非常想念他。”
美国现任总统拜登也发推进行了悼念，表示图图大主教的去世是南非人民的巨大损失。
南非总统拉马福萨（Cyril Ramaphosa）褒扬道，图图的去世，是南非告别一代杰出南非人的悲痛的另一章。他称许图图那一代人，留下了一个“解放了的南非”。
He was, first and foremost, a priest not a politician.
But for the best part of half a century he was the face of reconciliation, and South Africa’s moral compass. The system of this country, apartheid, is immoral.
The system of this country is evil. Desmond Mpilo Tutu remained outside of party politics, but he used the church as a platform for protest against white minority rule.
It was under South Africa’s oppressive government that he first campaigned against apartheid.
When emotions were boiling over, his influence helped prevent bloodshed and in 1984, he was given the highest recognition for his efforts. When you are given the Nobel Peace Prize, it doesn't really belong to you or in a way you can say it makes you answerable to the world. The world as it were, has a piece of you.
He was a compassionate and sensitive man, one who would cry along with the victims, as they gave their harrowing evidence at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
It was Tutu who coined the phrase “rainbow nation” to describe South Africa’s ethnic diversity, preaching unity in the face of adversity.
But even after South Africa became a democratic country, Desmond Tutu was not afraid to speak out against injustices and he was often scathing in his criticism of the governing ANC. I am warning you.
I am warning you that we will pray as we prayed for the downfall of the apartheid government, we will pray for the downfall of a government that misrepresents us.
A spiritual figure with a global influence, there are few issues in the world that Desmond Tutu hasn’t spoken out about, from human rights abuses to climate change to poverty.
When you want peace, you negotiate not with your friends.
That is what we discovered in South Africa and that is what we discovered in Northern Ireland.
You talk to the one that you least like. I will remember his moral courage that after going on his knees no situation was insurmountable and for him that Roman passage that if God is for us, nothing can be against us, it was not just a cliché, is was something that he lived.
It is an enormous loss for South Africa, but Desmond Tutu’s irrepressible sense of humour and relentless pursuit of justice will be long remembered by all.
“如果你在不公正的情形下保持中立，你就选择了压迫者的一边。”12月26日，说出这句传世名句的南非前大主教、反种族隔离著名人士德斯蒙德·图图（Desmond Tutu）去世，终年90岁。图图毕生都为反对种族隔离而奋斗，“彩虹之国”就是他最先用来形容南非的。
据《独立报》报道，图图1931年10月出生于南非小镇克拉克斯多普（Klerksdorp），早年他接受过教师培训，后来到英国伦敦国王学院学习神学，1960年成为牧师。
1975年，他被任命为约翰内斯堡圣玛丽大教堂的院长，成为南非第一位担任该职位的黑人。
1976年到1978年，他担任莱索托主教，1985年成为约翰内斯堡主教，次年成为开普敦大主教，这是南非圣公会等级制度中最高级的职位。图图身高仅5英尺5英寸（约为1.68米），但却被称为“道德巨人”。
图图创造了“彩虹之国”这个词来形容南非，在种族隔离制度结束后，他仍然是坚定的人权捍卫者，他生前反对腐败、贫困、仇外心理，并提高了许多人对艾滋病毒和艾滋病的认识。
1984年，他因反对种族隔离的非暴力斗争获得诺贝尔和平奖。图图有许多经典名言，他在2007年说：“我希望我能闭嘴，但我不能。”他还有句流传更广的名言：“如果你在不公正的情况下保持中立，你就选择了压迫者的一边。”
图图大主教在1990年代后期被诊断出患有前列腺癌，近年来他一直在医院接受治疗。
德斯蒙德·图图知识产权信托基金代理主席兰弗拉·曼菲勒（Dr Ramphela Mamphele）确认，当地时间12月26日早上，图图在开普敦的绿洲护理中心平静地去世，享年90岁。晚年，图图依然为自己的“彩虹之国”的梦想没有完全实现而感到遗憾。
