News of fitness personality Sbahle Mpisane's recovery has made headlines since her horror crash in Durban last month, and her name started trending again on Tuesday when her brother shared a video of her in her hospital bed.
In the video shared on Instagram, a "glammed up" Mpisane thanked fans and family for their love and support.
Mapisane has been in hospital ever since the head-on collision during the earlier hours on Women's Day on 9 August. Jaws of Life had been used to remove Mpisane from her mangled BMW after the car burst into flames after colliding with a tree.
The caption that accompanied the video explained that Mapisane and her family were celebrating her parents' anniversary. But the video was soon deleted after trolls saw the fitness bunnies comeback video as an opportunity to "maliciously attack" her.
Sharing another video Mpisane, her brother Andile wrote: "Kindly note I’ve taken down my sister @sbahle_mpisane recovery video on my page, after some malicious attacks towards me, my sister and Family.
The video was to inform the public of the Great progress and recovery stage of her state... after the tragic accident she had as people were gossiping all negative rumors on social media, newspapers about her which pains me dearly and my family. Thanks very much for the continuous support and prayers and note that my sister Sbahle appreciates each and everyone of you Siyabonga (sic).
