Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla resigns as MP

Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla has resigned as a member of Parliament. 

This was revealed at a uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party media briefing in Durban on Friday morning. 

Zuma-Sambudla has been under scrutiny for her alleged role in sending 17 South Africans to Russia where they ended up on the frontlines of the Ukraine war.

She has denied the allegations against her.

In addition, she is currently facing trial in the Durban High Court over the July 2021 unrest. 

Her charges include terrorism and inciting violence. 

She has more recently been linked to luring South African men into the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

It is alleged that the men were recruited for what they believed was bodyguard training linked to the MK Party.  

The party distanced itself from her on Thursday. It is unclear if she remains a member with the MK Party. 

This is a developing story.
