No they did not
Nelson Mándelas prosecutor was Jewish
The African people played an outsized role.
Don’t get your facts wrong
Please, please - reading comprehension. I compared South African Jews to...other white South Africans not to Black South Africans (if you are going to call my comment into question, then use the correct language of the liberation struggle).
Hilda/Rusty Bernstein
Arthur Chaskalson
Johnny Clegg
Colin Coleman
Ruth First
Arthur Gavshon
Denis Goldberg
Nadine Gordimer
Helen Joseph
Ronnie Kasrils
Benjamin Pogrund
Albie Sachs
Joe Slovo
Ben Turok
Harold Wolpe
And that is just a short list.
The heroes of the liberation struggle are overwhelmingly the Black South Africans. My comment, however, was simply directed to the proportion of Jewish South Africans who were anti-apartheid activists in comparison to the rest of their white demographic cohort. Some estimate that the disproportionate representation was by as much as 2500%.
All to say, I'm not necessarily surprised that a white South African refugee may be both a racist and an anti-semite.
