JOHANNESBURG — Police in South Africa say retired Archbishop Desmond
Tutu’s home was robbed while he was away to attend a memorial honoring
Nelson Mandela.
A statement Wednesday from the South African Police Service said the
robbery of Tutu’s home in Cape Town happened between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Tuesday. That was the day the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and foe of
apartheid spoke at the memorial service at a soccer stadium in Soweto
township of Johannesburg.
The statement said: “At this stage, we cannot give further details, as
the investigation into the matter is still ongoing. No arrests have been
made as yet.”
The 82-year-old Tutu had his home robbed in August as he and his wife slept inside. Both were unhurt.
