(BBC) – South Africa’s Archbishop Desmond Tutu has returned to hospital just a week after being discharged.
He has what has only been described as a “persistent infection” which his foundation says is unrelated to the prostate cancer he has had for 15 years.
Archbishop Tutu retired from public life in 2011 but continues to travel.
