You need to research about African decolonization movements back in the 60’s.

“Despite the widely reported Soviet support for the ANC and otherwise liberation movements, the Soviet Union also engaged in some trade with South Africa during the apartheid era, mostly involving arms and some mineral resources.”

So, they delivered weapons to the Apartheid regime?
