Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla's half-sisters went to Parliament asking for help getting back South African guys who got tricked into fighting for Russia in Ukraine. The siblings met with International Relations Committee chair Supra Mahumapelo in Johannesburg, and they told him some family members are stuck over there after being promised security gigs but ending up in actual combat zones. They've already opened a criminal case against Zuma-Sambudla for allegedly recruiting these dudes, and 17 South Africans total got trafficked to the frontlines.
Five people appeared in court over the recruitment scheme, but Zuma-Sambudla wasn't among them, even though the Hawks are investigating her connection. She quit Parliament last week while denying she did anything wrong, claiming she thought the men were going for legitimate training. The sisters reached out to the president, and DIRCO is working with diplomatic missions to bring everyone home.
