The Sunday, 1 February episode of Carte Blanche investigates how a years-long conflict hundreds of kilometres away is reaching into the streets of Gauteng, as Russia turns to susceptible communities in growing nations to bolster its combating pressure.
Underground recruitment networks are allegedly concentrating on Zimbabwean Uber drivers dwelling and dealing in South Africa, luring them with guarantees of cash, employment and even international citizenship.
With little to no navy coaching and restricted understanding of the battle, many could also be unknowingly heading towards excessive hazard on the frontlines, going through drones and heavy gunfire.
The investigation examines the recruitment strategies and networks concerned, the impression on households and communities left behind, and asks a troubling query: who’re the Africans risking every part to battle a international conflict?
