Montana’s resignation comes just days after former president Jacob Zuma’s daughter, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, resigned as an MP.
Her resignation followed revelations about her alleged role in misleading 17 South African men to fight on the frontlines of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
The DA has laid criminal charges against Zuma-Sambudla for her alleged central role in recruiting and trafficking young men into Russia’s war with Ukraine.
