Tutu 'not invited' to his friend Mandela's funeral

Desmond Tutu will not be attending Nelson Mandela’s funeral because he did not receive credentials to do so, a spokesman for the retired archbishop has said.

“The archbishop is not an accredited clergyperson for the event and thus will not be attending,” Rev Mpho Tutu, the archbishop’s daughter, said in a statement. She is chief executive of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Foundation.
