CIA set up Mandela’s capture, imprisonment ?

London The Sunday Times just published an article that the CIA in 1962 had Mandela captured leading to his 28 year imprisonment. Former CIA employee says that he tipped off South Africa gov't where Mandela would be. Story is complementary to film, Mandela's Gun, which is being screened at Cannes Film Festival this week. (Mandela buried his pistol prior to being captured.) Some believability to charge as in 1962, Mandela may not have been viewed differently from Castro. Current South African gov't is using story to say that there are 'still' forces trying to overthrow gov't today. South African gov't today is corrupt and breaking up. Smells of racist charge to 'justify' gov't actions.
