Archbishop Desmond
Tutu has been readmitted into hospital, just days
after being discharged following three weeks of treatment for a recurring
infection.
Tutu has been suffering from prostate cancer for several years.
The Nobel Laureate had been admitted to hospital in Cape Town
on several occasions in recent months due to an unidentified recurring
infection.
According to the 84-year-old’s family, he was being
treated for a surgical wound which is showing “signs of infection.”
Tutu received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, the Albert
Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism in 1986 and the Pacem in Terris Award in
1987.
He also got the Sydney Peace Prize in 1999, the Gandhi Peace
Prize in 2007 and South Africa Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.
