The ANC was not the problem so much as the KGB backing them. Ronnie Kasrils was trained and funded by the KGB and participated in attacks outside of ZA as well. In his own biography he claims this. For instance in 1974 the KGB engineered an ANC lead attack on Zambia which resulted in the massacre of upwards of 12,000 Muslims there. ANC 'shock troops' also lead attacks in Mozambique, Namibia and Angola.
Within ZA the ANC outwardly disavowed violence against whites as a tactic because they understood this would not win them any special favors in the west. However through the late 1970's all of south Africa was embroiled in brush wars. This is the key reason that ZA developed their own nuclear weapons. They planned to use them as a last line of defence on their own soil against attacks from the north east regions. ANC terror squads in the mean time did go after people, mostly other blacks, for cooperating with the police and being paid informants. At least they didn't shoot down commercial airliners and massacre the survivors like their next door neighbors in Zimbabwe (ZIPRA).
