This discussion digs into the CIA's ties to apartheid South Africa and how U.S. policy shaped power there.
Jeremy Kuzmarov, from Covert Action Magazine, covers the CIA's role in Mandela's arrest, America's shifting stance on apartheid, and the broader fight over Africa's resources.
Kuzmarov then traces the fallout in post-apartheid South Africa, where inequality persists and old structures endure. Add in the legacy of surveillance, propaganda, and Cuba's surprising role to help end apartheid.
