Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu recently added his footprint to the Maropeng Footprint Project – a unique collection of footprints of presidents and Nobel Prize laureates.
Flow was there to cover the event for Maropeng, one of our oldest clients.
Tutu started the day with a walkabout at the Sterkfontein Caves before touring Maropeng. His daughters, Nonthombi Tutu and Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe, accompanied him as he kept the crowd, dignitaries and journalists in stitches throughout the day.
Getting a lesson in human evolution from Wits Professor Frances Thackeray, Tutu struggled with the word Australopithecus: 'Australo ... austro … nee man ... Australia!'
Giggling when told that our ancestors are from the Cradle of Humankind: 'We are all from Africa, every single one of us.'
Tutu jokingly complaining that the person washing his foot, after he left an imprint in wet cement, was tickling him.
Archbishop Tutu arrived with his foot in a cast, first saying, 'I fell for a woman,' before explaining that he was suffering from tendonitis.
