South African troops in Cuba allege forced per diem donations; union seeks probe

South African military personnel stationed in Cuba allege they were pressured to donate portions of their per diem allowances, with the SANDU labor union calling for an investigation into the funds' destination. The claim is sourced from a Cuban outlet and unverified; if true, it signals potential corruption or coercion within South Africa's military deployment. The incident is minor in scale but could affect morale and bilateral relations.
