On Thursday, 27 November 2025, the Democratic Alliance (DA) will lay criminal charges against uMkhonto we Sizwe Party Member of Parliament, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla.
The DA will file the criminal case with the SAPS to investigate the roles of Zuma-Sambudla MP after 17 South African men find themselves fighting in an active war zone, reportedly lured there by members of the MK Party. New evidence and facts have recently emerged in this matter. The DA will also be addressing the potential foreign policy implications of the Department of International Relations and Cooperation’s silence on the matter.
The MK Party member must be criminally investigated, and if found to have broken the law must be prosecuted.
The DA charges will be laid by:
• Chris Hattingh, MP, DA Spokesperson on Defence & Military Veterans, and
• Ryan Smith, MP, DA Spokesperson on International Relations and Cooperation
Media is invited to attend, as follows:
