Hawks Arrest Group Accused of Recruiting South Africans for Russia’s War

Five people (including a well-known radio presenter) have been arrested for allegedly trying to recruit South Africans to fight for Russia in Ukraine. Authorities say some locals may have been misled with promises of jobs or training, only to end up in a war zone. The group is now headed to court, and the case is raising big questions about how many South Africans may already be involved. 02/12/2025
