Some of the opinions in the Voices section this week:

Black Consciousness is not a mafia code

Thuli Madonsela argues that Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng is calling for fairness and solidarity based on principles, including vigilance in safeguarding our hard-earned democracy.

Stop misusing the term 'black tax'

Black tax exists because of an economically unjust and uneven landscape in the country, writes Lesaoana Makotoko.

Is it xenophobia? I think not

Abdi Ismail Samatar says criminality is widespread in the country and the best way is not by casting sensationalist labels such as xenophobia but to critically assess the genesis, nature and scope of the problem.

The brightest star of our movement

In his life of struggle, Ben Turok survived a two-year treason trial, three years in prison and house arrest, until he escaped to join his cadres abroad. Yonela Diko pays tribute to Turok.
