Earlier this year, Candy took to Instagram to share she was grateful she escaped unharmed after she was involved in a car accident.

The actress blamed a puncture on the potholes on roads all over Mzansi.

“Oh Lord I thank you for your protection as we all know we can always replace the material things but life comes first. Potholes on national and local roads still the same,” she wrote.

Car accidents are a painful part of the actress' life and memories. She shared an image of her firstborn son Phetole, who died in a car crash in 2011.

On her Instagram tribute post in January this year,  Candy lamented how his daughter, who is the spitting image of him, was five months old when he died and had grown up without her father. She said her son brought her happiness

“While a little piece of my heart went to heaven along with you, I smile through the tears and heartache. You, my sweet son, brought me so much happiness in your short time here,” she wrote.
