Friday night saw Pebetsi Matlaila escaping death by a whisker in a car accident.
On Friday night after dinner, Pebetsi Matlaila who plays Mokgadi Matloga on Skeem Saam and her husband and their daughter were almost hijacked on their way home. In a bid to flee the hijackers, the family swerved and drove away at high speed before crashing. While there were no casualties, a heavily pregnant Pebetsi Matlaila who is in her 3rd trimester with her second child had to be rushed to hospital. Fortunate enough both mother and baby were reportedly just fine.
The actress celebrated her good health.
“I rejoice and praise the Sovereign God because we’ve been discharged from hospital. We’re still in good health, including the baby. Material things can be replaced but life can be lost in a split second. But mercy said no. God reminded us of His power and protection, even when we’re not aware. I serve a living God, my family and I are all still good. I rejoice and praise the Sovereign God because we’ve been discharged from hospital. We’re still in good health, including the baby.

However, Pebetsi is not the one celebrity who escaped an accident recently. Popular musician, Zola 7 is reported to have been in a car accident owing to an epileptic attack. The Zola was driving at a high speed when he crashed into group of concrete tables and chairs of a spaza in Meadowlands, Soweto in February. However details are sketchy as the artis could have been drinking. The owner of the shop went outside to look at the damage only to find Zola is the one who had been driving.
“I went to the car to check who the driver was and found that it was Zola 7. When my mother and I asked him what happened, he threw a bottle out of the car and told us that he suffered some fits when he was driving and lost control of the car and hit our chairs and tables. He was complaining of neck and back pains. He said it was after curfew and if we called the police, he would be arrested for violating the lockdown regulations. He gave me his cellphone and pleaded with me to call his wife, but couldn’t do so because he couldn’t unlock the phone,”
