What does Israel care what South Africa has to say about anything anymore? The gold industry in South Africa is much too expensive. The Black miners are represented by a union and the labor costs are to high for the white, many "Jewish" owners of those mines. South African mines are deep pit or underground mines and have been supplanted by cheap mines in the former Soviet Union, elsewhere in Africa, the South Pacific, and Canada. Same for diamond mining, why mess with South Africa, when diamonds and gold. The areas of the world where people are poor, the government weak and the laborers not complaining are abundant. Why waste your time on post-Apartheid? Israel, and diamond and gold dealers, and supporters/agents in Europe and America, do not need South Africa for it's diamonds or it's gold, so they can mind their own business.
