Archbishop Desmond Tutu to undergo minor Surgery

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is expected to undergo a minor operation on Wednesday

He's been in hospital for the past two weeks where he's receiving treatment for a recurring infection.

In a statement the Tutu family says the renowned cleric is responding well to treatment for a persistent infection.

Tutu will be undergoing a small surgical procedure on Wednesday to address the root cause of the infection.

He was admitted to a Cape Town hospital about two weeks ago.

He also had been hospitalised last year due to a similar infection.
