In honor of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who died on Sunday morning, the city of Cape Town will light up Table Mountain and the city hall in purple.
On Sunday, Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis announced that one of the ways the city will honor Tutu's contribution was to light up the renowned mountain and city hall every night from 8 p.m. until midnight.
"It serves as a reminder of his excellent life and contributions, and it aids us in remembering and celebrating them."
