Ms Mary Turok
Ms Mary Turok trained as a social worker at the University of Cape Town in 1952, which forced her into activism at an early age. She then worked as a journalist for a progressive newspaper and later in trade unions. In 1966 she went into exile after spells of banning, imprisonment, and suburb arrest. In 1991 she returned to South Africa and became an ANC Member of Parliament in 1994. She resumed activism in 1999 but with a development orientation. She has served as a judge, on Impumelelo's National Selection Committee for several Final Adjudications.
