Desmond Tutu, South Africa’s Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, on Tuesday, returned home after a week-long hospital admission to treat ‘persistent infection’.
A statement by the daughter of the 83-year-old Anglican archbishop emeritus in Johannesburg said that Tutu had been prescribed rest.
She said the archbishop was looking forward to spending quality time with his wife and watching a little cricket.
The Nobel laureate had previously suffered from prostate cancer.
Tutu was rewarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his resistance to South Africa’s then apartheid regime.
At the end of racial discrimination in 1994 in that country, Tutu headed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission created to heal the wounds of apartheid.
