AFTER spending a week in hospital, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is back home with his loved ones.
The 83-year-old was admitted to a Cape Town hospital last Tuesday to treat a persistent infection.
Daily Sun reported that Tutu has been living with prostate cancer for 15 years.
During a press briefing last Thursday, Tutu's daughter, Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu, said they were confident that her father would recover well.
She said: "His medical team prescribed lots of rest. They have been fantastic and we'll be doing our best not to disappoint them."
She added that they were grateful for the love and support of friends in South Africa and abroad.
Arriving at his home on Tuesday, the archbishop also thanked his team of doctors for their expertise and generosity.
He said he was looking forward to spending quality time with his wife and watching the South Africa vs Bangladesh cricket matches.
