The daughter of legendary religious and civil rights leader Desmond Tutu sought control of a trust set up in in her father’s name but lost when the trust was revoked. Former board members voiced regret over the trust ending but stated that there was no other choice based on the daughter’s behavior. Unfortunately, this is not the only incident involving members of the Tutu family of late, a granddaughter was reported to the police after alleged damage to family property. A spokesman for the family said that Tutu hope the matter may be put behind everyone.
