Tutu's emerging leadership organisation

By Tarryn Le Chat

Today, 20 learners from across Cape Town discussed pressing social issues with Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and Rita Marley, wife of the legendary Bob Marley, at the Mount Nelson hotel.

The secondary school learners seeked answers and advice on leadership and the current and future obstacles and goals facing their communities and their country.

Another purpose for Rita Marley's visit is to continue discussions for her forthcoming 'Africa Unite' concert to be held on Bob Marley's birthday (6 February) in Cape Town next year.

The concert is part of a mission to empower communities and to alleviate poverty, especially in Africa, based on the principles of compassion and love.
