The world woke up to the sad news of the death of South African clergyman, Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
The death of the 90-year-old world Nobel Peace Prize winner was announced by South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has mourned the ever-smiling Archbishop Desmond Tutu as an African icon of freedom, peace, and reconciliation.
"The passing away of Archbishop Desmond Tutu is a big blow not only to the Republic of South Africa where he leaves behind huge footprints as an anti-apartheid hero but to the entire African continent where he is deeply respected and celebrated as a peacemaker.
"Through his distinguished work over the years as a cleric, freedom fighter and peacemaker, Archbishop Tutu inspired a generation of African leaders who embraced his non-violent approaches in the liberation struggle," Uhuru mourned.
On social media platforms, world leaders have shared tributes for the anti-apertheid regime leader.
