Nobel Peace Prize 1984 Desmond Tutu is celebrating his 92nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed religious figures of his generation.
Popular religious figure Desmond Tutu has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 92nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Tutu, a cultural icon
Born Desmond Mpilo Tutu in Klerksdorp on October 7, 1931, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in South African history. Tutu's not just a great religious figure, he's an inspiration, an icon. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Desmond hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Desmond Tutu as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 92.
Happy Birthday, Desmond, you're the best!
