South African Police Service (SAPS) National Spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, has confirmed that an inquiry docket has been opened at the Sandton Police Station for investigations on Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla.
Mathe adds that the docket has been handed over to the Hawks Crimes Against the State (CATS) component for further investigation while emphasising the complexity of the case.
This comes after former president Jacob Zuma’s other daughter, Nkosazana Bonganini Zuma-Mncube, opened a criminal case against Zuma-Sambudla, Siphokazi Xuma and Blessing Khoza, in relation to seventeen South African men allegedly trapped in the Ukraine/Russia war.

Mathe reveals that they are yet to interview the affected victims.
