Reports suggest that individuals were misled with promises of jobs only to find themselves trapped on the front lines. Her resignation comes as the Democratic Alliance lays criminal charges against her for trafficking, leading to calls for an urgent investigation into the recruitment practices. This scandal has sparked significant media attention and political debate in South Africa, with discussions centered around the implications of such recruitment and the fate of the men allegedly deceived.
