Desmond Tutu, the cleric who used his pulpit and spirited oratory to help bring down apartheid in South Africa, died Sunday in Cape Town.

The archbishop, a powerful force for nonviolence in South Africa’s anti-apartheid movement, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984.

Desmond Tutu, the archbishop who led a global campaign to end SA’s racist policies and then helped in healing the nation’s wounds, has died.

"The passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation’s farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa," Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africa's president, said in a statement.
