Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has been readmitted to a Cape Town hospital only a few days after being discharged following a surgery just over a week ago.
In a statement released on behalf of his wife Leah, Tutu was reportedly readmitted earlier today as a precaution after his surgical wound had shown signs of infection.
The Archbishop had undergone the surgical procedure 10 days ago, to address the cause of recurring infections resulting from the past treatment he had received for prostate cancer, the statement said.
The family was very grateful for the ongoing prayers and support, Mrs Tutu said.
I wish him soonest recovery.
May God strengthen him, I guess old age has come
