  • The Archbishop won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for combating white minority rule in South Africa.
  • He coined the term “Rainbow Nation” to describe South Africa when Nelson Mandela became the country’s first black President in 1994.
  • Former U.S. President Barack Obama, the country’s first black leader, hailed Tutu as a “moral compass”.
