Versions of names: Зиянда Нкуру, Ziyanda Mambathane Ncuru

Republic of South Africa

Political activity

Ziyanda Ncuru has been identified by the Russian media as a member of the regional executive committee of the Communist League Youth of South Africa. However, based on her social media profiles and the shirts she wore during the referendum emblazoned with the African National Congress Youth League logo, it appears her primary connection may be to the ANC’s Youth League. She, along with other members of ANC’s Youth League, appear to have been flown into Moscow on 22 September.
