paying their last respects, people from all walks of life dropped off flowers here at desmond tutu s soweto home, demonstrating what the 90 year old stood for. he was the voice of reason, the face of reconciliation and south africa s moral compass. this is a dark day to us south africans because he is the light and the icon of this country. he used to be a father to us, his wife used to be a mother to us. it was desmond tutu, known affectionately as the arch , who coined the phrase rainbow nation to describe south africa s ethnic diversity. more than any other, you know sometimes when you have some problems you just go to him and he willjust give you a prayer. and you go to the chapel- and hear him pray for us every day when we have problems. several memorial services
