This is according former president Jacob Zuma's daughters, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla and her elder sibling, Nkosazana Zuma-Mncube.

Both women have opened charges against Khoza, which includes fraud, misrepresentation, trafficking in persons for purposes of exploitation, and the unlawful movement of South African citizens into or toward an active conflict zone.

Nkosazana Zuma-Mncube who filed criminal charges at the SAPS Sandton branch over weekend, claimed that Khoza, Siphokazi Xuma and her sister Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla played key roles in luring the men, some of whom were relatives, to Russia under false pretences, before handing them over to a mercenary outfit operating in Ukraine.

The men reportedly signed documents they did not fully understand before being moved to eastern Ukraine.
