Her stepmother, Shauwn Mkhize, thanked God for such a great miracle on her social media, and Sbahle responded in the comments by thanking her for pushing and believing in her throughout the tough journey.

According to her, a former friend of hers, who remains unidentified caused the accident. She resisted the urge of going into the details of her fallout with this particular friend.

That stated, Sbahle admitted that she indulged in alcohol before her near-fatal accident, but denied that her accident was alcohol-related.

Sbahle Mpisane's Controversy

There was an outbreak of disturbance on social media when Sbahle’s brother Andile Mpisane shared a video of her progress as she recovered in hospital. Sbahle received so much love and care from family and friends during that time.  

However, the video received a lot of mixed reactions from the public. While some were glad to see that the fitness instructor was pushing through, others felt that the video was an invasion of Sbahle’s privacy, prompting Andile to take down the video. 

The family distanced themselves from the video as it was broadcast on social media without their consent. 

A year after her accident, the Fitness Bunnie dropped a bombshell that no one saw coming. Out of nowhere, she said she knew who had caused her accident. This sent shockwaves across social media. 

However, Sbahle Mpisane vowed to not reveal the individual’s identity. Sbahle Mpisane’s Instagram shows all the stories that reveal startling details about the incident.
