The many faces of Mary Turok

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Confronted by the brutality of apartheid during the 1950s and 1960s, Mary Turok became a brave and feisty political activist. After apartheid was defeated, she mellowed into a deeply compassionate woman guided by a profound humanity and selfless determination to support poor and vulnerable groups, in the spirit of Ubuntu. IVAN TUROK pays tribute to his late mother, who was a constant presence at the Institute for African Alternatives (IFAA), working alongside her husband, former Director, Professor Ben Turok.
