UTutu wathelekisa unyulo lwase-US kunye nolonyulo luka-1994 eMzantsi Afrika, apho inkokeli yamalungelo oluntu eMzantsi Afrika uNelson Mandela wanyula umongameli emva kweminyaka engama-28 esentolongweni.
UMandela wonyula uTutu, owafumana iNobel Peace Prize ngo-1984, njengosihlalo weKhomishini yeNyaniso noXolelwaniso yaseMzantsi Afrika ngo-1995, iqela elanceda ukupholisa amanxeba amashumi eminyaka yocalucalulo eMzantsi Afrika.
Intetho yakhe kubaphathi abangaphezu kwama-300 abaphezulu bombutho kunye neengcali zeentlanganiso yayiyeyokuqala kwinto eya kuba luchungechunge lwemisitho ekhethekileyo exhaswa yi-APB eWashington, DC nakwezinye iindawo kulo lonke elase-United States.
Walumkisa wathi: “Ubuhlanga busagqugqisile kwiindawo ezininzi, kodwa wayibiza iUnited States “njengelizwe elimangalisayo” waza wathi “ufanele wazi ukuba bangaphi kuthi abaye baphenjelelwa” kunyulo luka-Obama.
Ebhekisa kwintetho edumileyo kaMartin Luther King ethi "Ndinephupha", wathi "iphupha libe yinyaniso."
Ukwancome utyelelo luka-Obama eBerlin ngexesha lephulo lakhe lobumongameli, apho wadibana namaJamani amalunga nama-200,000, njengomqondiso wokuba anganako ukumanyanisa ihlabathi ngemiyalezo yotshintsho, yethemba, neyokuphumelela.
UTutu wabuyela kwiintsuku zakhe njengenkwenkwana xa ethatha ikopi yemagazini ye-Ebony kwaye waphefumlelwa libali likaJackie Robinson eqhekeza kwi-Major League baseball.
UTutu uvumile ukuba “wayengayazi ibaseball kwiping pong” ngelo xesha, kodwa wayesazi ukuba olu luphawu lwezinto ezinokwenziwa ngabantu abamnyama kwaye waqala ukulandela iimpumelelo zabanye abantu ababalaseleyo abangumzekelo njengoko wayethethelela amalungelo amakhulu oluntu eMzantsi Afrika. .
UTutu ubonakalise uburharha oburhabaxa, etsala ukuhleka rhoqo kubaphulaphuli. Wathi: “Kuthiwe mandithethe ngokufutshane, kodwa ndingumshumayeli.”
Wasebenzisa amava akhe obuqu amaninzi, kuquka idabi lakhe nomhlaza wedlala lesinyi, ukuze abalaselise iintsikelelo ezininzi abantu abafanele babe nombulelo ngazo, enxibelelanisa umxholo othi “Ngobusuku Bemibulelo.”
UTutu uvale ngomyalezo wakhe wenkuthazo kubaphulaphuli.
“Ungummangaliso,” watsho. “UThixo unebhongo ngani. Yonke into yekaThixo – ukucela ukuba umncede. UThixo uthi ufuna ihlabathi libe lihlabathi elinomdla ngakumbi nelikhathalayo kwaye akanakukwenza oko ngaphandle koncedo lwakho.”
Usekela mongameli we-APB uSusan Sarfati uvule imisitho yangokuhlwa ngokuchaza i-APB "njengamandla oovulindlela kwishishini leentetho elidala amathuba okuba abantu babone abona bantu banomdla nabadumileyo, beve izimvo ezibukhali kunye neempikiswano, kunye namava kwiinkokeli, amatsha ntliziyo. , kunye nabenzi bezinto ezintsha kumhla wethu.” I-APB inokufikelela kwihlabathi jikelele kunye neeofisi kumazwe ali-13 kwaye ikwabonelela abathengi "i-Teleportec," itekhnoloji entsha enemigangatho emithathu yokuhambisa izithethi eyona nto ilandelayo kwinkcazo yomntu. Usihlalo we-APB kunye ne-CEO uRobert P. Walker ubhengeze ukuba umcimbi olandelayo we-APB uya kubanjelwa eWashington, DC ngo-Matshi 19, 2009 kwaye uya kubonisa owayenguMongameli weSoviet Union uMikhail Gorbachev.
