The Bodyguard [Dembe Zuma | Hisham Tawfiq] #7: "I know what it feels like to be seen as less than human, a thing transported for money."
X Dembe Zuma is former freedom fighter from South Sudan. He was born the youngest son of Samwel Zuma. When Dembe's father reported a number of low-ranking operatives of a poaching organization to the authorities, the cartel killed Dembe's father, mother and siblings and sold him to human traffickers. He spent eight years in the world of human trafficking and was enslaved until the age of 14, when Reddington found him half-dead and chained to a pipe in the basement of a brothel in Nairobi. Reddington took care of him, nursed him back to health and made sure he got an education. Dembe eventually got a Bachelor's degree in English Literature, learned to speak four languages fluently and learned six others well enough to get by. Dembe has a daughter, Isabella and a granddaughter.
x quote of the moment ღ "I know what it feels like to be seen as less than human, a thing transported for money. You saved me from that which is why I know you'll want me to try and save others. " Episode 5x07
x "You know, twenty nine years ago, in Sierra Leone, there was a farmer named Samwel Zuma, who had the audacity to identify several low level Mombasa operatives to local authorities. The cartel massacred the entire family. All but the youngest son; he was sold to a local ring of flesh peddlers. The majority of children in those circumstances don’t last longer than nine months. He survived eight years. He was fourteen when I found him. Too old, too tall, too angry and dangerous to be of any further value. He was left to die, chained to a standpipe in a squalored brothel in Nairobi. Branded, barely alive, so I took him. Made him well, saw to his education; he graduated university with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature. He speaks four languages fluently and can get by on half a dozen more. He is splendid. His name is Dembe. Dembe Zuma."

But aside from this one episode, there wasn't much about Dembe this season. __________________

Yes he did! But I don't know when he filmed this. Probably some time during TBL I think.

Maybe this was the first time he was allowed to talk about it?
