The ANCs most important document, the Freedom Charter was written by a Jewish Communist and even Mandelas speech from the dock when he was found guilty of terrorism ws written by a Communist Jew. Mandela ws a Communist from the early days, so was very close to many Jewish people and there are still some Communist Jews on the ANC benches in parliament.
This antagonism towards the Jews from Ehrenreich has its roots in the Cape Province where the ANC lost Cape Town to the Democratic Alliance, a predominantly white party led by Helen Zille, a Jew. Ehrenreich himself lost the province to Zille, so that is where the antagonism comes from.
Further complicating things is the fact that the ANC has always been a terrorist organisation and sees its friends as other terrorists. This explains why they supported Ghaddafi, Arafat and Castro amongst others.
Other roots of anti-Semitism come from the situation where during Apartheid, the predominant business power was Jewish and this made them class enemies to the ANC on the one hand, but friends on the other because of the Communist link.

Ruth First, Slovo's wife was also a Jewish emigre, and active participant who got hit with a mail bomb as a result.
And their children are all active in mass media film making in some well known films with some well known actors.
Useful idiots? Active participants?
How did the ANC view them then? Now?
Seems counterproductive for the ANC whether they viewed supportive Jews as partners or just useful idiots. Maybe a sign of further devolution and implosion of a South Africa/ANC.
Could it be an indicator for a South Africa's future along the lines of how Idi Amin kicked out ethnic Asians/Indian Ugandans and stole their assets(destroying the merchant class for short term gain).
Jews played prominent roles in Russian/Soviet Marxist/communist revolution. Israel itself is Socialist enough to make a lot of Israeli supporting Constitution/Freedom loving Americans quite confused.
With the involvement if Slovo in MK and the damage they did, it's a shame SA security forces didn't get him.
I always had a problem with Apartheid, feeling more in step with the Rhodesian long time horizon plan for change.
But the Soviet versus Chinese versus naive West conflict fighting in parallel to the black/white conflict I thought was quite simple and clear on who was worth supporting.
I just wish Slovo and First would be alive in 2025 to see the future they helped to destroy.
