"There is no question about me wanting to sponsor this meaningful cause. I am cognisant of the many benefits I derive from Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu’s gallant advocacy over the years. A black young woman from Soweto who was told the world needed her to only serve others who could be scientists, doctors, artists and presidents; due to his fight against a system of injustice I too have a voice, I too can practice my franchise every four years! A wish my ancestors were denied. Importantly, I enjoy all this with a joyful heart that knows the power of forgiveness. I speak for many when I say we owe you a huge debt Arch. We love you." Carol Bouwer
