The heart-warming story of Nompilo Tengetile Dlamini, who kept the world informed about her complex life journey which required her to appeal for hefty donations for survival, has sadly come to an end.
THE STORY OF LUNG DISEASE SURVIVOR NOMPILO DLAMINI
This after social media posts from reliable sources surfaced paying tribute to Nompilo, who finally lost her battle to Cystic fibrosis (CF), an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs.
Nompilo, a vlogger on social media but a nursery school teacher in real life in Eswatini (Swaziland), survived of a ventilator, which she carried around, including times she appeared on social media.
Though her content depicted a strong woman full of life, sympathies comforted her, negativity made her stronger, and funds she so desperately sought, gave her another day or chance in life. Nompilo needed funds for a new lung, and the lung transplant was estimated at R2 Million.
