“Today I decided ukunyusa imoto yam ize ngala eGoli ngoba sengqala ukuyijwayela lendawo, next thing out of nowhere kuFreeway kuwa ugodo kwiTruck lazotheleka straight kumina. [Today I decided to bring my car to Johannesburg as I am getting used to the place and the next thing on the highway, a log from a truck landed straight onto my car], ” she said.
