According to the report, South African police have arrested four Russia-bound men at Johannesburg’s airport suspected of having signed up to fight for the Russian army, the force said on Saturday.
The report stated that the announcement comes in the wake of revelations that police were investigating a daughter of ex-president Jacob Zuma over claims she was involved in recruiting men to join Russian mercenaries in the Ukraine war.
The report said that the four, arrested at OR Tambo airport on Thursday and Friday following a tip-off, were to be brought before a court near Johannesburg on Monday. Police suspect them of having breached South Africa’s law against citizens fighting for a foreign country’s army without the government’s authorization.
In addition to the report, police last week said they were probing allegations that Zuma’s daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, an MP in her father’s Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party, had lured 17 South African men to Russia to fight in the Ukrainian war without their knowledge or consent. Zuma-Sambudla resigned from parliament after the claims came to light.
