Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla resigned from parliament amid allegations that she lured 17 South African men to fight as mercenaries for Russia in the war in Ukraine. Police announced an investigation after a group of men aged 20 to 39 ended up on the front lines in Donbas. Zuma-Sambudla had served as a member of parliament since June 2024 for uMkhonto weSizwe (MK), an opposition party created by her father following his expulsion from the ANC. MK described the resignation as voluntary, denied party involvement, pledged support for the families, and said the resignation was not an admission of guilt. Zuma-Sambudla attended a news conference but did not speak and faces related legal attention, including a noted court appearance in Durban on November 11, 2025.
