Lung transplant patient arrives in India for procedure, SA celebrates: #SaveNompilo
In a previously published story, Briefly News reported that Dlamini finally arrived in India last month ahead of her highly-anticipated lung transplant operation.
Earlier in October, the influencer told her followers that her trip had taken an unexpected turn after it was postponed due to ill-health.
However, it now appears that it's all systems go for the young woman, who's fought long and bravely to get to the point where she can get the life-saving procedure.
Taking to Twitter, Dlamini tweeted that she'd arrived in the Asian country and thanked Saffas for their continued support.
The tweet read:
"Your fighter has arrived safely in India, her journey to healing begins tomorrow. I can never thank you enough for the love and support you have shown me. India is treating me great too."
