She lives in Klopperpark in Germiston.
The images are captioned “Bleeding on the brain, whiplash and a concussion can definitely not get me down. To everybody who supports me, thank you, everyone”.

She said the man responsible made contact with the police.
Benoni SAPS spokesperson Capt Nomsa Sekele said a case of reckless and negligent driving was opened.
She confirmed the man turned himself in but said no arrest has been made.
