South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu was discharged from a hospital in Cape Town Tuesday after undergoing treatment for a persistent infection, the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation said.
The infection was a consequence of treatment for prostate cancer that Tutu has received over the past 18 years, the foundation said in an e-mailed statement. The cancer itself was well under control, his daughter, Mpho, was cited as saying in the statement.
