Tutu was readmitted to hospital on Saturday due to an infection developing at the site of an earlier surgery.The Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu van Furth‚ his daughter‚ said‚ "He's healing very well and the doctors are very pleased with his progress".He underwent a surgical procedure earlier this month to address the cause of recurring infections related to past treatment for prostate cancer.Social media was flooded late on Monday with rumours of his death which resulted in a flurry of panicked telephone calls to his family from relatives and friends from around the world."Although the infection was unwelcome it wasn't completely unexpected because previous therapies that he's had for prostate cancer have retarded his healing‚" his daughter said."The doctors have identified the exact microbe and so he’s on the right antibiotic and he’s responding to the treatment very well and we anticipate that he will be home again soon."Commenting on her father's rumoured "death"‚ she said‚ "He missed the storm. He wasn't on his i-Pad at the time so I don't think that has really affected him adversely".She said the hoax message was "incredibly unkind not only to the family but to people around the world who really do love and care and support the Arch"."It's very distressing to hear that kind of news over Twitter‚ and particularly for family members to receive that kind of news over social media. It's not the way that that news would be conveyed‚" she said.Earlier in the day‚ Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa visited Tutu in hospital where‚ according to his office‚ he conveyed to the Archbishop‚ his wife Leah and family the best wishes of the government and people of South Africa for his speedy recovery."The Archbishop was in good spirits and was looking forward to returning home soon‚" a statement from the deputy president's office said.Medical staff informed Ramaphosa that Archbishop Tutu was responding well to treatment and spent most of his time resting."I was encouraged to see the Archbishop in high spirits‚ sharing light moments with his family and friends. He was jovial as usual‚ engaging on subjects ranging from education to politics‚" said Ramaphosa.Also on Tuesday‚ the South African National Editors' Forum criticised the "alarming trend by fake news websites to publish inaccurate information under the guise of news".This included a false story about the well-being of Tutu that caused panic...
