DONBAS - Two South Africans have been severely injured in the war in Ukraine, another is presumed captured or dead.
They are among at least 17 who were lured to Russia under false pretenses.
The Russian army deployed a 39-year-old KZN man to the Donbas war zone in Ukraine.
He was injured in a drone attack in December, resulting in the amputation of his foot.
Another 45-year-old from the same province is in a wheelchair after a drone strike.
His colleagues are unsure if his condition is permanent.
Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla resigned as an MK MP after being accused of helping lure men to fight in the conflict.
