Penny Ntuli is on sick leave and resting at her mother’s home in Durban after being stuck in the snow for more than 24 hours.
She was travelling with her friend, Uzalo actor Buyani Masikane, from Johannesburg to Durban for a funeral when they got stranded on the N3 road near Montrose.
Her boss, Mpho Mhlongo-Njomane, said that Penny is resting and seeing doctors.
“She is at home now, taking time off to make sure she is fully okay,” he told Zimoja.
He added that they don’t know yet how long she will be off work, but they want her to recover fully without pressure.
Over the weekend, false rumours spread on social media that Penny had died after being trapped in snow on the N3 near Van Reenen’s Pass.
However, her family quickly dismissed these claims.
A relative travelling with her confirmed in a TikTok video that Penny had shown signs of hypothermia on Saturday while they were on their way to KwaZulu-Natal for a family funeral.
