Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, daughter of ex-South African President Jacob Zuma, has resigned as MP after being accused of recruiting men to fight in Russia's war in Ukraine. Her half-sister alleges eight relatives were sent to Russia, while authorities confirm 17 South Africans joined Russian forces in Donbas. Police are investigating links to the MK Party, led by Jacob Zuma, which denies involvement. Several arrests have been made under foreign military assistance laws.
