Archbishop Emeritus Desmund Tutu tore into the ANC after the Dalai Lama was denied access into the country. The Dalai Lama was meant to attend his friend, the Archbishop Desmund Tutu’s 80th Birthday celebrations this weekend but will but be able to attend due to the fact that he has been denied access into South Africa. Other celebrities that  will be attending the birthday celebrations are Irish rocker Bono, former US president Jimmy Carter and ex-UN secretary-general Kofi Annan.


Rumors are that access has been denied due to prior relations with china not ending well but all allegations have been denied.  On the 4th October 2011 Deputy Principal Kgalema Motlanle stated that the Dalai Lama would have received entrance into the country had he not canceled his application on the 3rd October 2011.

“These disagreements could have been handles better” says Archbishop Desmund Tutu. South Africa has brought shame upon one of the most well known spiritual leaders in the world. There is confusion over why the Dalai Lama has been refused entry into South Africa due to the fact that is will not be the first time in the country. Premier Helen Zille asked: “He’s the spiritual leader to millions around the world, he’s a Nobel laureate, he has been to countless countries around the world without repercussions from China. What’s the problem?”


Tutu’s wild outburst was a shock for many fans and followers after Tutu announced that he would pray for the down fall of the ANC. The ANC has brought great shame and embarrassment on its citizens and does not at all represent its people but only represents its own interests and beliefs.
