Tutu sets retirement plans, thanks South Africans
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has announced his intention to wind down his public engagements when he turns 79 this October.
"I think I have done as much as I can, and I really do need time for other things that I have wanted to do," Tutu told a July 22 media briefing at St. George's Cathedral in Cape Town. He also thanked South Africans for their contribution to the world, including their "panache" during the World Cup games.
