Four South Africans, among about 20 young men whose families said they were duped into fighting for Russia, have been repatriated, the state-owned South African Broadcasting Corp. reported.

The men, who were recruited with the help of a daughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma, arrived at Johannesburg’s main airport on a flight from Dubai, the broadcaster reported. It aired footage of their arrival and said they would be taken to a police station.
