0ur correspondent nomsa maseko is in cape town — outside st georges cathedral. she told me what people had been saying to her about desmond tutu. people are reflecting about archbishop desmond tutu as a man who was small in stature but had a big heart. after all, he was the man who was chosen by nelson mandela to head the reconciliation process here back in 1994 when south africa became a democracy, a lot of people speak about the man who played a prominant role in ensuring that south africa d...
