AHC: Marxist South Africa

I have a strong black Marxist movement in my TL but nothing more. Seems a bit tough to go with...
 
not all that hard, the SA Communist Party and the ANC still run as one party, if you get a way that the US don't care/need the White-Only government we could see a black leftist government over throw the apartheid Government in the 1970s or 80s.
 
Nelson Mandela is killed, the angry and confused masses of Black Africans look to a new man to lead them...A communist. He preaches out the Blacks are the ultimate working class and are meant to inherit the earth, he leads a bloody revolution backed by the USSR. He wins, the end.

Well, we have lots of workers and miners that went on strikes. But I can't see a fully fledged Red state. The UK will step in if nothing else. And it is too isolated for help from the USSR.
 
If you can keep the Boer States independent, South Africa would have a small British settler population ruling over the native population. Introduce Indian laborers into the mix and who knows? I guess Marxism could work, but... Im not sure.
