The 83-year-old has been in and out of hospital over the past few weeks, Mpho has told journalists that her father's hospitalisation is not a cause for panic adding that doctors are just being cautious.

The archbishop's daughter says apart from the information, her father is still strong and quite healthy. She added that this is not a recurrence of the archs' previous illness. 

''I don't believe that it's the same infection that they were treating him for previously, no. I believe it's an inflammation that they are now treating him for,'' she said.

Tutu thanked the media for keeping South Africans abreast of the Arch's condition and all those who are keeping the family in their prayers
