Usher visited Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu in Cape Town ahead of his concert in Soweto on Saturday. Usher and the Archbishop chatted for about 15 minutes about Cape Town’s beauty and their mutual interest in the welfare of children. Usher and his entourage were swamped on their arrival by swooning female workers in the complex where the Archbishop has his offices.
