Civil servant lured to Germany on facebook

Sources close to her family said Zandile Ndlela, who is employed by the Ministry of Tinkhundla Administration and Development as a secretary, received a correspondence from Canada that promised her a job and she fell for the offer.

This allegation is yet to be fully verified as she is yet to return to the country to give her account. She has, however, since posted a message from Germany’s capital city, Munich that she is now fine.

The message said she now awaits repatriation to Swaziland. While Zandile and friends posted messages on the social networking site, Facebook, her mother in Swaziland was in the dark about what had happened to her.

Speaking to the Times telephonically, she said she last saw her daughter over a month ago and only heard from people that she had been arrested in Germany.

"She’s lost. I know nothing. Since she left she has not spoken to me. I last saw her on the 14th of last month. The problem is that I don’t stay with her as she stays in Manzini and I stay in Nhlangano.

"I know nothing, I’m in the dark. I only learnt after she had left that she had gone overseas," the mother identified only as make Ndlela (nee Shongwe) said.

Asked what means she had done to try to get hold of her daughter, she said her hands were tied. "There is nothing I can do," she responded.

Other relatives suggested that Zandile was supposed to be repatriated to Swaziland from Germany after certain processes had been completed in that country.

It is said she was only facing a charge of illegal entry because her visa did not stipulate that she had permission to enter Germany.

Germany`s capital is Berlin, not Munich.

Anybody can fall on human trafficking but i think women are a target because they like nice and easy things. They will never learn & i know that very well. Women need to be told the truth instead of mourning together with them, mourning will never be a solution instead we spoil them even more.
