JOHANNESBURG — Retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu changed course Saturday night and announced plans to attend the funeral of anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela after all.
Spokesman Roger Friedman did not explain Tutu’s reversal but said Tutu would be in attendance at Mandela’s funeral Sunday in the village of Qunu. He did not explain the reason for Tutu’s change of plans.
Tutu, 82, had earlier in the day said he would not go because the government had not made him feel welcome and he did not want to “gate-crash” the funeral of his longtime ally and friend.
