"Police said Nonkululeko Mantula was arrested after a tip off, police said. She is accused of recruiting four men who were arrested with her and making arrangements for them to join the Russian military currently involved in a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Police said the matter has been postponed to December 8 for a formal bail application and that the five accused have been remanded in custody."
"Three of the men were detained as they attempted to fly to Russia via the United Arab Emirates, police said, adding that they believe Mantula had already succeeded in recruiting at least another person who was now in Russia. Mantula is a presenter on the public broadcaster's SAFM radio station. Her trial comes on the heels of a probe into a daughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma, who faces similar allegations."
