Sbahle Mpisane reflects
Paramedics pulled Sbahle out of the car using the jaws of life, shortly before her car burst into flames. The personal trainer spent three weeks in a coma and many months in the ICU. She also suffered from amnesia due to her head injury and could not walk after breaking both her legs.
Reliving memories of the traumatic incident this week, Sbahle posted on her Instagram Stories: “The world sees a woman who looks fully healed. They see the polished version of me. But what they don’t see is the girl who’s been healing every single day since. Imagine how depressing that is. From screaming pain to silent strength.
Sbahle Mpisane revealed that the accident has made her physically and mentally stronger.
She continued: “It’s hard to put into words, but I’m finally seeing real, steady progress. In my body. In my mindset. In my spirit. And I just want to say: I’m proud of myself. I’m a survivor. I’ma true fighter”.
Speaking in an interview with YouTuber Owamie Netshivhazwaulu in 2022, Sbahle Mpisane revealed that she was “permanently disabled” after losing her ankle bone, which left her wearing a moon boot.
She also claimed that her amnesia had left her with lasting memory loss. She said: “I will never recover fully from my amnesia, medical people will understand, but I recovered with the necessary memories”.
In her interview, Sbahle Mpisane also hinted that someone she knows was behind the crash.
She added: “Something happened, someone was the cause of my car accident…I happen to know the person. That person was my friend, but there’s nothing to talk about…because I’m alive.
“That person did come forward to say and agree about what happened. I will never reveal the person’s name.
“I forgave the person because they didn’t do it intentionally. When alcohol is involved, a lot happens”.
