Breaking News: Jacob Zuma’s Granddaughter Cyan Boujee Accused of Promoting Russian Human Trafficking Job Scams

Honour Zuma, also known as Cyan Boujee and widely recognized as the granddaughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma, is at the center of a growing scandal involving the promotion of a Russian job recruitment scheme now confirmed to be a human trafficking operation. Cyan Boujee recently shared and endorsed online videos marketing the Alabuga Start programme, which falsely promised young African women opportunities to work and study in Russia.

Investigations have revealed that the Alabuga Start programme is a front for a sinister human trafficking network. Rather than offering legitimate educational or hospitality jobs, recruits were sent to factories in Tatarstan, Russia, where hundreds of African women were coerced into assembling military drones in poor and dangerous conditions. These drones have been linked to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The South African government has issued strong warnings to its citizens about the scam and launched investigations into the influencers, including Cyan Boujee, who promoted the scheme. The scam has sparked outrage across social media and among human rights advocates for exploiting vulnerable women under false pretenses.

While Cyan Boujee’s familial ties to Jacob Zuma have been publicly claimed by her but remain unclear, her role in amplifying this dangerous recruitment scam risks tarnishing the legacy of one of South Africa's most prominent political figures. Authorities continue probing the scam’s networks, urging caution against falling victim to similar schemes.

This developing story highlights the urgent need for vigilance against modern human trafficking disguised as legitimate overseas job offers, with Cyan Boujee’s involvement serving as a stark warning to young Africans seeking opportunities abroad. Further updates will follow as investigations progress.
