We know some of you may have seen our earlier announcement about this year's Peace Lecture, so we want to clarify the updated details.

The 2026 Desmond Tutu International Peace Lecture will now take place on Friday, 9 October at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town.

Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams will deliver the keynote address, with an intimate live performance by acclaimed South African artist Msaki.

This follows a change to the original programme, which had announced the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, as keynote speaker and the Lecture taking place on 7 October.

The updated details are:

📅 Friday, 9 October 2026
📍 Baxter Theatre, Cape Town
🎤 Keynote: Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams
🎶 Live performance: Msaki

The Lecture remains part of TUTU95: United for Humanity, commemorating what would have been Archbishop Desmond Tutu's 95th birthday and carrying forward his enduring call for courage, justice and our shared humanity.

We look forward to welcoming you to a very special 16th Desmond Tutu International Peace Lecture.

We are deeply grateful to PeaceJam South Africa, the regional affiliate of the PeaceJam Foundation, and to Mentoring Peacebuilders South Africa, the local NGO that runs PeaceJam South Africa, for helping make this year's lecture possible.
Thanks to their generosity, 1997 Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams will deliver this year's keynote.

I know that sadly, our charity is no more, but I just want to let you know that I have completed the book, covering the last 21yrs of my life with Life for African Mothers.
I am hoping that the book will be published at the end of June, around the actual anniversary of my seeing the PANORAMA episode which inspired me.
I will put the details on here in case anyone would like to buy it. All being well, I hope to donate to a maternal/womens health charity, which is run by people I know personally.
Thank you all for everything!
Angela ❤️
