South Africa said it has received distress calls from 17 citizens trapped in eastern Ukraine after being lured to join mercenary forces under false job offers. The revelation comes as Russia launched a series of strikes on 142 foreign mercenary hubs across Donbas, raising fears the South Africans may be among those caught in combat zones. President Cyril Ramaphosa has ordered an investigation into illegal recruitment networks and vowed to bring the men home safely. The incident places renewed scrutiny on Pretoria’s neutral stance in the Russia–Ukraine conflict and its ties through the BRICS alliance.
