A tip from a CIA spy to authorities in apartheid-era South Africa led to Nelson Mandela’s arrest, beginning the leader’s 27 years behind bars, a report said on Sunday.Donald Rickard, a former US vice-consul in Durban and CIA operative, told British film director John Irvin that he had been involved in Mandela’s arrest in 1962, which was seen as necessary because the Americans believed he was “completely under the control of the Soviet Union”, according to a report in the Sunday Times newspaper.
“He could have incited a war in South Africa, the United States would have to get involved, grudgingly, and things could have gone to hell,” Rickard said.
Zizi Kodwa, national spokesman of Mandela’s ruling African National Congress (ANC) party, called the revelation “a serious indictment”.
“We always knew there was always collaboration between some western countries and the apartheid regime,” he said.
He claimed that though the incident happened decades ago, the CIA was still interfering in South African politics.

Is anyone shocked? Im sure not. Its just another evil action to add to the long list of evil actions carried out by the CIA. [/FONT][/COLOR]
At the time I can see why the CIA would have done it. Of course, things turned out well in the end, but at the time.....
The Cold War was a strange time.

Let me ask.
When a prior CIA, NSA, FBI or Military Officer tells you that UFOs and Aliens are real, do you believe them too?
Or is it only on stuff you want to believe?
You answer was non-responsive.1.)Its long been reported that the CIA was involved in the arrest of Mandela and against the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa
2.)Confirmed that he worked in Durban and was a CIA operative
3.)CIA has denied to comment
4.)CIA is also currently fighting a FOIA request that is related to Mandela and the CIA's activities around the time of his arrest
5.)Would not surprise me at all if this man is telling the truth
It's too bad he made it out of prison to become a fake hero around the world.
Ahhh yes the Mandela haters everywhere... A lame excuse for trying to justify racist apartheid and imperialism in South Africa.
Mandela was a communist terrorist.
:lamo
1.)He was a socialist
2.)According to the US he was a terrorist until 2008
3.)The title of who is a "terrorist" is completely subjective and is mainly used for political purposes
He was a communist terrorist. No arguing that.
:lamo
1.)Not a communist. A socialist
2.)The title of who is a "terrorist" is completely subjective and is mainly used for political purposes. So yes, there is arguing "that".

The left wing revisionists are out in full force lmao.
:lamo Oh yea, I am such a "revisionist" because I dont uphold the opinion of Mandela being a terrorist and/or communist :roll:
Facts are opinions now, always true to form, you are.
Please show me the facts.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Street_bombing
The Church Street bombing was a car bomb attack on 20 May 1983 in the South African capital Pretoria by Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the African National Congress. The bombing killed 19, including two perpetrators, and wounded 217,[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP] and was one of the most deadly terrorist attacks engaged in by the ANC during its armed struggle.

The Amanzimtoti bombing took place on 23 December 1985 when five civilians were killed and 40 were injured when MK cadre Andrew Sibusiso Zondo detonated an explosive in a rubbish bin at a shopping centre.

Nope. Never denied thatSo you're denying that Mandela was a leader in MK,
1.)The Umkhonto we Sizwe was made up of socialists, communists, and anti-imperialists some being left wing some being non-ideological on the left-right political axis.the far left terrorist organization that killed over a hundred thirty people, most being civilians?
:roll: :yawn:La la land is painted with blood these days.
Nope. Never denied that
1.)The Umkhonto we Sizwe was made up of socialists, communists, and anti-imperialists some being left wing some being non-ideological on the left-right political axis.
2.)During the period when Mandela was out of prison and helped lead the Umkhonto we Sizwe, they carried out sabotage against the Rhodesian state. This was sabotage of material not killing. He favored sabotage because, "it did not involve loss of life, it offered the best hope for reconciliation among the races afterwards.. This we hope would bring the government to the bargaining table. Strict instructions were given to members of MK that we would countenance no loss of life." https://books.google.com/books?id=s...MAhUs0YMKHS1-Cn4Q6AEIHTAA#v=onepage&q&f=false
3.)The dates when the Umkhonto we Sizwe undertook a bombing campaign of soft targets, often leading to the death of civilians was when Mandela was imprisoned and had no communication with the Umkhonto we Sizwe.
4.)Its also important to note that after Mandela's imprisonment Umkhonto we Sizwe was in shambles and lacked little discipline.
5.) In conclusion its pretty silly to blame Mandela for these deaths for the above state reasons.
:roll: :yawn:
Here are just a few of the acts of terrorism that Mandela confessed to:
Evil action?
Hilarious.
The guy deserved to be in prison.
