South Africa under communist

ANC is get a lot of support from Soviet Union and Cuba.
Their also allies of South African Communist Party and COSATU.
Their have their own military wing "Umkhonto we Sizwe".For liberation of Africa and kill all the white.
Their also a good friend with PLO,ETA,IRA,Red army fanction and other
left wing movement.
If ANC can end an apartheid system in more violent way.(may be same like
in Zimbabwe)
Did ANC will establish the communist rule in South Africa or not.
And What will happen to all the white people
 
WTF.

Firstly, Umkhonto we Sizwe had no hope in hell of defeating apartheid in battle, and they knew it. The Apartheid state built up a very effective military in the 1980s. What destroyed apartheid was public will. The whites wanted an end to the wars, the blacks just wanted freedom. Revenge was considered by some, but for those leading things on both sides, full-scale violence would lead to a civil war, superior black numbers fighting superior white firepower and organization. Not good for either size.

And the second problem is what Mugabe knew in Zimbabwe in 1980 as well - the whites have most of the skills and capital in South Africa, which means driving them out en mnasse will see the nation collapse, and the ANC had no wish to lead South Africa into ruin. Communism had no hope of ever coming about in South Africa.

As for the connections, MK was better organizaed than most of those. The RAF was never all that well organized or successful, the IRA was a massive pain in the ass for the Brits but never got very far as a violent force. ETA is in the same boat. The PLO relied on a steady stream of people willing to die for the case, which makes armed resistance much easier. Aside from the IRA and MK, none of those gorups accomplished much. RAF, arguably, accomplished nothing. And in both Northern Ireland and South Africa, once the sides began talking they made progress quite rapidly, because the people of South Africa in 1990 and Northern Ireland in 1998 were bloody tired of living in a war zone, and both sides had governments sympathetic to this.
