Tutu is the founder of the Older Persons programme at Ikamva Labantu. She brought seniors together to form clubs, motivating and encouraging them to manage and expand these clubs for themselves. Under her leadership, senior clubs grew to 19, transforming into a vibrant and thriving senior enrichment community. Tutu is now retired and attends the senior club in Langa, where she lives. Tutu was featured in the Brave Hearts documentary.
