https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relations ... sra%C3%ABlTo sum up, they were good.
Then in the 70s, Israel gave some moral lessons on Sudafs' Apartheid.
And contemporary, South Africa has emerged from apartheid and is somewhat overplaying its role as "neo-nice guy" by diplomatically attacking Israel over the bad fate reserved for the Palestinians.

In 2001, during the Durban conference against racism, African and Arab countries condemned the policy carried out in the occupied territories3. In 2009 they supported the UN commission of inquiry, chaired by South African judge Richard J. Goldstone, accusing Israel of having committed crimes in the Gaza Strip during the 2008-20093 warXNUMX'.
Israel has poor diplomatic relations with the Sudafs, who return it to them at the UN.
