OBITUARY: Trevor Tutu, son of anti-apartheid icon who blazed his own trail, dies aged 70

Trevor Tutu, the son of anti-apartheid icon Archbishop Desmond Tutu, has died at age 70. Born in 1956 in Klerksdorp, Trevor lived a life marked by frequent relocations due to his father's work as a priest. He spent part of his childhood in London, where he learned English and developed a passion for football, sharing this interest with his father. Trevor faced challenges growing up in the shadow of his father's prominence, including periods of restricted movement due to security concerns. His early education took place at Waterford Kamhlaba School in Swaziland, which served as a refuge for children of activists during the apartheid era. The article highlights his personal experiences and relationships, particularly with figures like Ghaleb Cachalia.
