MBABANE - A family of Zondwako is urgently seeking E735 000 to repatriate the
body of Delisa Elisha Dlamini, a liSwati teacher found dead in his Taiwan flat.
Dlamini, who had been working in Taiwan since 2022, was discovered by friends
after he failed to report for work last Monday and did not answer his phone.
Results
His elder half-sister, Danica Phiri, confirmed the death, stating the family is
awaiting the results of police investigation.
“We are still in shock and are waiting for the police investigation to give us
answers about his death,” said Phiri.
Informed
Despite the ongoing investigation, the family has been informed that they can
repatriate Dlamini’s body, but the cost is substantial, estimated at E735 000.
Dlamini, a 2018 graduate of the University of Eswatini (UNESWA) was privately
employed and not part of the official Taiwanese Government teacher recruitment
programme.
The family has launched a public appeal for financial assistance to cover the
repatriation costs.
Assistance
“We, the family of Delisa Elisha Dlamini, are seeking your kind assistance to
help transport the remains of our beloved relative from Taiwan to Eswatini,” a
social media post stated.
“Any contribution, no matter how small, will bring us closer to giving our
loved one a dignified farewell at home.”
