In the brief interaction, we took the opportunity to wish Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, a very happy belated birthday. #NationalDayofImportance #DesmondTutuFuneral #NDOIupdates #DesmondTutu #Tutulegacy #rememberingTUTU
The mayor had said he would encourage public participation in deciding a fitting Memorial site to honour the late Archbishop Emeritus Tutu. #NationalDayofImportance #DesmondTutuFuneral #NDOIupdates #DesmondTutu #Tutulegacy #rememberingTUTU
