The UK Government also regarded the ANC as a terrorist organisation, given its fathership of the MK which had a close relationship with ZAPU through the 1970s.
But behind the scenes successive UK Governments negotiated between the ANC and the SA Governments. That was the nature of the times; one thing in public and another in private, just like in Northern Ireland.
As an odd aside, the SADF prized the Swedish-supplied rations that were supplied to ANC and SWAPO; Sweden covertly supported those groups from the early 1970s.
