Communist Revolution in Southern Africa

[Note. I came upon this interesting post in a newsgroup which kicked off a ruckus because nowadays everyone denies these things ever happened. But it is an interesting post from someone in New Zealand. The gentleman who wrote this had actually met Ian Smith, the Prime Minister of Rhodesia. Jan]

Moira de Swardt recently replied to my post saying that there never was
a communist revolition in either South Africa or Rhodesia. She also
said the key positions in the ANC government when it came to power
were not members of the SACP.

I find her comment fascinating and it reminds me of a statement made
by a former editor of one of Johannesberg’s newpapers which complained
that so many South Africans were not aware of things that were going
on in their own country.

I hope Moira will read what I have to say because I have a challenge
for her. But first some questions.

Why was it that Buthelezi, an anti-communist, was marginalised
throughout the problems prior to 1994?

Why was it that he, as both a prepresentative of the largest black
tribe and the largest political party [Inkatha Freedom Party], was
ignored, yet Mandela, a terrorist, from a minority tribe, a member of
the ANC, was focussed upon by the world’s media at the expense of
Buthelezi?

Why was it that Buthelezi, an anti-communist, could pack a stradium in
Durban with people who wanted to hear him speak, yet the media would
not turn up?

And does she know:

That the anti-apartheid protest movements through the rest of the
world were led and controlled by the communist parties of the
respective countries?

In New Zealand the anti-apartheid movement was started by a political
science student at Auckland university, a communist of the Chinese
brand. He was supported by other communist parties in New Zealand and
all of the socialist factions.

In England the leaders of the anti-apartheid movement were all members
of the Communist Party of that country, and one of them had a direct
link with Moscow. Does she know that?

In the USA the leaders of the anti-aparthied movement were members of
the Ameircan Communist Party. Does she know that?

I once had the names of the individuals involved both in the USA and
England, just as I had the names of the members of the SACP who were
in the ANC government when it came to power.

The fact is, whatever the wrongs of aparthied they were never the real
issue. That was a moral issue cleverly used by the communists for a
revolution. And they succeeded!

Joe Slovo. Remember him? A Lithuanian KGB Colonel who received his
instructions from Moscow. You didn’t know that?

I met Ian Smith in New Zealand once. I heard him say that he warned
the South African government at one time that precisely what happened
in Rhodesia would happen in South Africa … and it did. He also said
that the SA Govt. effectively laughed at him.

Rhodesia did have a communist revolution, and there is now absolute
proof.

I have a challenge for you Moira. I hope you will take it up. So many
people don’t want to know the truth and therefore deliberately keep
their heads in the sand. I hope you are not one of them. But obviously
you don’t know a lot about your own country’s history.
