Welcome

Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu, an international icon for peace and justice, was born in the beautiful city of Matlosana (Klerksdorp), and it is here that the Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu, Commemorative Birth Village, will be erected.

This will be a memorial, not only to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, but to The Diocese of Matlosane, the City of Matlosana, and to South Africa - Host Country for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. SOUTH AFRICA IS READY FOR 2010.

The Village's facilities include:
  • A Skills Development Centre
  • A Hi-Tech Interactive Museum
  • A Conference Facility
  • A Chapel and Auditorium

A Message about Desmond Tutu

An outstanding Leader in the Anglican Christian Community. A Nobel Prize winner for his activities in the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa. Like Barack Obama, he is dedicated to World Peace, and seeks to bring a strong feeling of humanity to all people. His total life has been devoted to seeking justice for those who are less able to help themselves. Desmond Tutu is truly one oj the most inspiring leaders of our time.
He is also a member of the committee that secured the 2010 FIFA World Cup for South Africa.

 
 
Progress
The project is still in its first phase and there is still a large need for funds.

Quote
Stability and peace in our land will not come from the barrel of a gun, because peace without justice is an impossibility.
