Joe Slovo
Was a Jew born in Lithuania who became a lawyer and subversive. He lived overseas when was he on the run and would have made contacts with other Jewish subversives there. He may very well have colluded with Jewish business men like Oppenheimer in South Africa.
The point of that collusion was to get money to finance war against the white man with the quid pro quo being that De Beers got to carry on its diamond mining monopoly after getting a black government. He was big in the South African Communist Party [ SACP ].

In 1961, Slovo emerged as one of the leaders of Umkhonto we Sizwe. In 1963 he went into exile and lived in Britain, Angola, Mozambique and Zambia. Slovo was elected general secretary of the SACP in 1984.He returned to South Africa in 1990 to participate in the early "talks about talks" between the government and the ANC. Ailing, he stood down as SACP general secretary in 1991 and was succeeded by Chris Hani who was soon murdered. Slovo was given the titular position of chairperson of the SACP. He served as housing minister in the first government of Nelson Mandela.
Slovo was a leading theoretician in both the party and the ANC. In 1989, he wrote Has Socialism Failed? which acknowledged the weaknesses of socialism and excesses of Stalinism. In 2004 he was voted 47th in the Top 100 Great South Africans.
