In his life of struggle, he survived a two-year treason trial, three years in prison and house arrest, until he escaped to join his cadres abroad
One of the core values and principles of the ANC, embodied almost divinely in comrade Turok, was the “Batho Pele” principle, “people first”.Even before joining the ANC, as a young man, Turok was already a trailblazer who had distinguished himself as the champion of the downtrodden. Comrade Turok understood that the ANC, the government it was privileged to lead, its alliance partners and all its visions and plans, had at their core the people.
Turok would then, on top of being absorbed daily by the struggle to liberate our people, immerse himself in both academic and self-study, obtaining critical and multiple degrees in preparation for the rebuilding of the country that would surely come and writing 20 books which mainly focused on the rebuilding of a just state.
Turok did not believe that what was holding back our economy was lack of skills, the cost of doing business, government red tape and such neoliberal tropes.
