LIVE: Ramaphosa, Putin Discuss Return of South Africans Trapped in Ukraine | Firstpost Africa | N18G

A recruitment crisis is unfolding across the African continent as South Africa and Kenya scramble to rescue nationals lured into the Russia-Ukraine conflict under false pretences. Promised lucrative opportunities and administrative roles, several young Africans instead found themselves deployed to the frontlines of Ukraine’s Donbas or working in drone factories. The South African Presidency recently confirmed direct talks between President Cyril Ramaphosa and Russian President Vladimir Putin to facilitate the return of its nationals trapped in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Kenya has condemned the use of its citizens as “cannon fodder,” reporting that over 200 Kenyans were deceived by fake recruitment agencies.
