From South Africa-
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has drawn both praise and criticism this week.
He was honoured by FIFA but slammed as anti-Semitic by hundreds of people.
Over 300 activists have now signed a petition calling for him to be axed as patron of the holocaust centres in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The signatories come from the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Germany, Canada and South Africa and have cited Tutu’s numerous anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiments.
The news came days after the cleric was given the prestigious FIFA Presidential Award for his role in the 2010 FIFA World Cup’s success.
