A Dlamini family has been left in distress after their relative, who reportedly went to South Africa in search of employment last December, stopped communicating with them.
The missing man has been identified as Thamsanqa Dlamini of Bhekinkhosi in the Manzini region.
According to information shared by the Royal Eswatini Police Service (REPS) on their Facebook page, Dlamini was last seen on December 27, 2025, at around 5pm in Bhekinkhosi before his disappearance.
Police revealed in the public appeal that Dlamini had initially kept in touch with his family after leaving the country. It is alleged that he later informed relatives that he was in Ermelo, South Africa, where he had secured employment.
However, communication between Dlamini and his family has since ceased, raising concern and prompting them to report a missing person case to the Manzini police.
They revealed that the family last heard from him in December when he said he was working in Ermelo. Since then, his phone has been unreachable, and they have not received any updates about his whereabouts.
