Here's an interesting quote from Mandela:

"I did not need to become a communist in order to work with them. I found that African nationalists and African communists generally had far more to unite them than divide them. The cynical have always suggested that the communists were using us. But who is to say that we were not using them" (1994, Long_Walk_to_Freedom, Abacus, London: 138-9).
