SITEKI – Thembi Dlamini, the Swazi woman trafficked to the USA by an American
pastor in 2005, is permanently residing in the USA.
Dlamini was lured to the USA by a female pastor who promised her a two-week
catering job which never materialised. Following the conviction of the pastor
and her husband in April last year, Dlamini now resides permanently with her
family in the USA.
AJC.COM reported last Friday that Dlamini has been united with her family which
she left behind in 2005. The publication reported that Dlamini’s lawyer Audra
Dial, when filing the lawsuit against the pastor and her husband, told the court
that his client now resides in the USA.
“Dlamini lives in United States. She reunited with the fiancé from, whom she
was separated when those two weeks turned into two years, and they married. Now
Dlamini is just trying to move on with her life,” the publication reported
that Dial told the court.
However, the name of Dlamini’s husband and family members were not stated in
the report.
The area or town in which Dlamini was residing while in Swaziland was also not
stated in the report.
Meanwhile, the publication reported that this was not the first human
trafficking case tried in Georgia this year.
“Last month, a Nigerian citizen in Atlanta was convicted for trafficking women
from Nigeria to work as nannies. She was convicted by a federal jury on charges
of two counts of forced labour, two counts of trafficking for forced labour, one
count of document servitude, one count of alien harbouring and two counts of
making false statements in an application to become a US citizen,” the
publication reported.

that the church has a branch in Swaziland but did not state in which town.
“According to their website, the Babb’s operate Christ Embassy, Atlanta
Ministries and alleged to minister to churches throughout America in New Jersey,
Texas and Boston as well as overseas in Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa
and Swaziland,” the publication said.
