Families in South Africa are speaking out after 17 young men say they were tricked into fighting for Russia in the war against Ukraine. The men, aged 20 to 39, allege they were recruited with promises of well-paying jobs, only to be forced into military contracts they could not understand. Some families claim the recruitment involved high-profile political figures, sparking a police investigation and national controversy. South African authorities say they are working to bring the men home, as questions grow over Russia’s alleged recruitment of African nationals for the war in Ukraine.

Shame what a pity.
MK party knows very well about this. They think we're stupid like them
We are happy to defend mother Russia.
These blood thristy anti white racists thought they were going to attack sleeping white farmers . Now they see how the white man fights now they scared cowards 😂
They got their Visas from the ANC! 😂 This African communist regime SELLING thier own people like SLAVES to go die in other countries! 😂 Typical Ubuntu!
Slave trade still running strong in SA! 😂
Bullshit! These people knew where they were going and what they were going to do. They must stay where they are, we can do better without terrorists in South Africa.
Ladyboys for entertainment, they are paid in just.
The knew they were going to combat traiining so that they come back trainers for the whole uniformed MKP.
Where does one go to enlist for this war, and how much do they pay?
This is fake and these guys are used for propaganda by American press. Why not publishing South African went to Israel to fight for Israel. Real lies
South african soldiers should go and relax. They know nothing about war
Scammed? Not really love of money bottom line
Their OWN choice….WHY all the commotion ??????
They are NOT " victims" !!!!
Please mention that the Zuma family is involved in this scam. Black People scamming other black people, what a disgrace.
When we were kids we were let to believe Russia is unbeatable with those powerful AK 47 rifles. Mkp 17 were recruited with this myth. It's hell over there only prayers can save them not Zuma with umshiniwam
They should turn the tables and fight against Russia. Change sides and fight with Ukraine.
So a South African man who goes to Israel to fight in the Israel/Gaza war will be arrested when he comes home but now there's no condemnation for this scenario…Yet again double standards!!
Scammed? Nah, we have a very very destructive males in our country, why go overseas, to fight yes
How mon ….Ukraine is killing the south africans soldiers ….then they want to kill the boers.OH SHEM.
SA men can go fight in Russia but not in Israel… why not ?? They should allow SA men to go fight in Israel if they want to..without discrimination….
