@BryanLunduke in the last 40 years of the 20th century, most of SA's military tech and nuclear weapons came from Israel. Most of the "big business" moguls had ties to Israel (Eg: Sol Kersener, Raymond Ackerman, the Rockefeller family, not sure about De Beers or Anglo). It is well known that the National Party was a good "friend" of Israel. One of the first things that Mandela did after he came back was raise controversy with his pro-palestine policies. So much "smoke and mirrors" out there ...
