South Africa’s police Hawks unit says it arrested eight people in an alleged recruitment case linked to fighting for Russia; a ninth person was later arrested. The South African Broadcasting Corporation reported that all nine Zimbabwean nationals appeared in court, with a group of five due back on Nov. 17 after a bail application was postponed. The allegations remain before the courts, and arrest or charge is not proof of guilt.
