Yossel Mashel Slovo (Joe Slovo)
Communism
Pictured right. Yossel Mashel Slovo (Joe Slovo). Slovo was born in a shtetl in
Lithuania and grew up speaking Yiddish and studying the Talmud. He joined the
ANC's terrorist wing, the Umkhonto we Sizwe, in 1961 and eventually became its
commander. He was named Secretary General of the South African Communist Party
in 1986. ("Joe Slovo," Jewish Chronicle, Jan. 13, 1995).
Slovo had been the " planner of
many of the ANC terrorist attacks, including the 1983 car bomb that killed 19
people and injured many others... Slovo, who had traveled to the Soviet Union
many times, was awarded a Soviet medal on his 60th birthday...Slovo is a
dedicated Communist, a Marxist Leninist without morality of any kind, for whom
only victory counts, whatever the human cost, whatever the bloodshed...Slovo
disputes little of his image as 'the Communist mastermind' behind the ANC's
armed struggle. For him the fears of South Africa's whites are both a measure of
the ANC's growing strength and a crucial factor in hastening what he believes
will be its ultimate victory. 'Revolutionary violence has created the
inspirational impact that we had intended, and it has won for the ANC its
leading position,' Slovo said." ("Rebel Strategist Seeks to End Apartheid," L.A.
Times, Aug. 16, 1987, p. 14). When Nelson Mandela's ANC took over South Africa,
Slovo was named Minister of Housing.

a photo of Kasrils with two other good buddies: Joe Slovo - another White
Communist. For decades, Joe Slovo (on the left) was the White man who led the
South African Communist Party. He was said to have the rank of Colonel in the
KGB. He directed all the Liberation Wars in Southern Africa at one time. When
the ANC came to power they made him the Minister of Housing. He died shortly
afterwards of cancer. The fellow on the right is Jacob Zuma who went on to
become South Africa's Vice President under Mbeki but whom Mbeki fired recently.
