[Ben Turok was a "White" Communist Jewish professor of economics. He later even got into Government under the prime enemy of the Whites, the ANC Government. Below is a basic summary of key dates in his life, along with his educational achievements and things he wrote. This was one of many Jews who knifed the White South Africans in their backs. He was one of many traitors to Whites and like all of them, he got off too easily. Jan]
