The daughter of anti-apartheid figure Archbishop Desmond Tutu has had to give up being an Anglican priest after she married a woman.
In an email to reporters, Mpho Tutu-van Furth said that as the church does not recognise gay marriage she was told her license would be revoked, so she decided to return it.

She wrote to AFP that her father was “sad but not surprised” at the news.
Archbishop Tutu has supported same-sex marriage and it was legalised in South Africa in 2006.
