Retired South African
archbishop and anti-apartheid campaigner Desmond Tutu has been
admitted to a Cape Town hospital for a series of tests, his
office said on Thursday.
"The Archbishop was in good spirits after settling into his
ward. He hopes to be back home in a few days," a statement from
Tutu's office read.
Tutu, who turns 87 next month, has had prostate cancer for
roughly two decades and has largely withdrawn from public life.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his non-violent
opposition to the apartheid regime in South Africa.
