Tutu home from hospital in time to celebrate wife’s birthday
South Africa's anti-apartheid icon and Nobel Peace laureate Desmond Tutu, 87, has returned home after two weeks in hospital, his office has said.
The Arch, as he is affectionately known, is "re-gathering his strength", his office said.
He had been admitted to hospital for a series of unspecified tests.
The Nobel laureate, who celebrated his birthday last Sunday, has had several stays in hospital in recent years and is in long-term treatment for prostate cancer.
His foundation "wishes to thank all who have sent messages and prayers, including on social media, for the Arch's swift return to his feet," it said.

His arrival back home coincides with his wife Leah's "eighty-somethingth" birthday on Sunday, so there is bound to be a double celebration after Tutu spent his own birthday last Sunday in hospital. "The foundation's board of directors and staff wish Mrs Tutu a very happy birthday, and the Archbishop a full recovery to sustainable good health."
