One of the causes that was dear to him and less well known, was campaigning together with her Royal Highness Mabel van Oranje, who is here with us today, against child marriage across the globe. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He was with the homeless, the helpless, the persecuted, the sick and the destitute in the streets, in shelters and in homes. He embraced all who had ever felt the cold wind of exclusion and they in turn embraced him. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He was not content to decry apartheid at conferences or benefit concerts or international fora. He was there, with the freedom fighters, confronting the regime and comforting its victims. He was not content to preach about social justice from the pulpit. #RIPDesmondTutu https://t.co/Rydgk1lT7D — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He took to heart and lived the words of the Book of Proverbs chapter 31, verses 8 to 9: “Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. “Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.” #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He was a man with a faith as deep as it was abiding. For him, opposing injustice, standing up for the oppressed, defying unjust laws, was God’s work. Destiny had anointed him a champion of the immortal cause of justice. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
