Jozi FM radio presenter Penny Ntuli is reportedly recovering after being stranded during a severe snowstorm in the Drakensberg region over the weekend.
The popular radio personality was among several motorists trapped on the N3 highway when extreme weather conditions struck.
According to Jozi FM, Ntuli was en route to a funeral with a friend when their vehicle got stuck on the snow-covered road.
Buyani Masikane, a fellow radio presenter who was with Ntuli during the incident, posted a video on social media on Sunday detailing the ordeal.
He said Ntuli may have caught a cold while they were attempting to check on and assist other motorists who were also stranded in the snowstorm.
“She got even worse after she met me halfway from the stores where I had gone to get food,” Masikane explained.
“We eventually started moving, but when we arrived at a nearby garage, we realised her condition was deteriorating. We got her coffee and rushed her home to her mother, as there wasn’t much else we could do at the time.”
He assured concerned followers that Ntuli was alive and recovering, rubbishing rumours that she had passed away.
“Penny is alive, but she really suffered from a severe cold. The rumours of her death are not true.”
The Citizen has reached out to Ntuli’s team for more details and this story will be updated when comment is received.
