In August last year, Sbahle Mpisane was involved in a near-fatal car crash that landed her in a coma for several months. Fortunately for her, she survived and since then, she has been trying to piece her life together.
The starlet was thrust into the spotlight several years ago and she has managed to build her brand into one of the biggest in South Africa.
After being discharged from the hospital, Sbahle has been wheelchair-bound and every now and again, she lets fans in on her recovery. A day ago, the media personality took to Instagram to share a video of herself taking her first steps since her accident.
"Our body can withstand almost anything. It’s your mind that needs convincing. For the past couple of months, without much success, I’ve been attempting to at least take 1 step. Yesterday my mum managed to make me take 3 steps, and it took a whole hour. I cannot describe how mentally challenging it was," she wrote in part. Watch the inspiring video below:

It's been a challenging journey for the starlet, a few weeks ago, Sbahle let us in on her state of mind when she shut down rumors that she was faking her amnesia. The media personality revealed that she still does not remember some of the people she used to hang out with due to her accident.
"I woke up from my coma thinking I had fallen down the school stairs. The embarrassment of, to this day, not knowing some of the people I hung out with. My mom put me on a video call recently with Nomzamo Mbatha and I was SO excited that I personally knew “Nomzamo the actress”, not knowing she was a close family friend who months before my accident had put me up in her house in Cape Town."
