According to the message posted on its official Instagram
page on Sunday, Mr. Imtiaz Patel, MultiChoice Group Non-Executive Chairman,
said they are saddened over the demise of the Archbishop.
He wrote, “MultiChoice is deeply saddened by the passing of
our beloved Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu – an exceptional visionary and
leader who spent his life in pursuit of justice and service of mankind,”
“As Africa’s most-loved storyteller, we want to pay tribute
to this remarkable man, and we’ll be bringing his incredible story to life on
our tribute channel,” Patel said.
Tutu died at the age of 90 and his death was confirmed by
the office of South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa had described the archbishop as “a leader of
principle and pragmatism who gave meaning to the biblical insight that faith
without works is dead.”
The cause of his death is cancer, the Desmond and Leah Tutu
Legacy Foundation said, adding that Tutu had died in a care facility.
He was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997 and was
hospitalized several times in the years since, amid recurring fears that the
disease had spread.
