Why Africans Are Being Recruited For A Foreign War - Episode #172

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show: At least 17 South Africans have returned home after allegedly being lured into Russia’s war in Ukraine - but the bigger story is how African countries are becoming recruitment pools for foreign conflicts. Meanwhile, Germany is backing tighter social media bans for minors, suggesting Australia’s crackdown may be the start of a global domino. Back home, wave power is being pitched as South Africa’s next energy frontier - if we can afford it. And in lighter news: a crabeater seal takes a 4,500km detour to Cape Town.More From Us:⁠Whatsapp Channel⁠ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠
