She was known as a "fitness bunny" before she was involved in a tragic car accident that almost took her life. The daughter of business mogul Shauwn Mkhize, influencer and TV reality star Sbahle Mpisane has opened up about her life after being wheelchair bound. 

THE ACCIDENT

After an accident in 2018, she is planning on sharing glimpses of what happened on that tragic day. She plans to reveal all in the new season of Kwa Mam'Mkhize. "Everyone has grown so much from season one," Sbahle says. "From our mom going through her divorce and getting her name back. To my brother being married with children. Me? I was in a wheelchair and now I am standing tall."

BEING AN AUNTY

Since Andile has had four children, Sbahle says being an aunt has been a heartwarming experience. "I never knew I could be more receiving and welcoming until the arrival of our babies." Sbahle says a lot has changed in her life. "But there is one thing that remains the same; the love that we all have for one another," she says. "I have reclaimed my life, from being in a wheelchair and having no hope to now being able to catwalk, which is an inspiring story to many."

WELLNESS

The self-taught fitness fanatic says she loves to take care of both her internal and external well-being. "Fitness is something I naturally gravitated towards. It was a hobby that became an income," she says. "Even after my accident, when I was depressed, I did not lose love for myself and my fitness. Even when I was in a wheelchair, I still took care of myself, even though I was not happy because I didn't want to look like my problems." Sbahle advises anyone who has been going through a tough time to never give up. "As someone who has been through a very dark time, I urge people to take it day by day and just appreciate the position that they are in right now and get their minds right," she says. "I just pray that they find it in themselves to be strong, even though being strong is not easy," she says.
