The former CIA operative revealed he gave the tip leading to Mandela’s arrest. The African National Congress says the CIA is still operating against them.
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was involved in the 1962 arrested of anti-apartheid crusader and cherished statesman Nelson Mandela, according to Newsweek. Ex-CIA agent Donald Rickard said he gave the tip to apartheid South African authorities that led to Mandela’s 1962 arrest during a deathbed interview with British filmmaker John Irvin, whose documentary “Mandela’s Gun” will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival this week.
