South African content creators, such as Bheki Ndamase, Sinethemba Madondo and Lasizwe, were among those who visited Grace Mondlana in the hospital following a health scare. On 3 August, social media was buzzing with concern when Grace, a beloved content creator, shared that she had been hospitalised after collapsing on the stairs. GRACE’S SUPPORT SYSTEM PULLED THROUGH FOR HER The avid supporters of Grace know just how much she pours into others, especially her loved ones. Now it was their turn to show up for her, and boy, did they hold her down! Her inner circle, which included her parents’, grandmother, siblings, and the mentioned content creators, pulled up with flowers and goodies. After sharing her ordeal yesterday, other content creators such as Thobi Rose and Mihlali Ndamase posted their well-wishes in the comment section. Mihlali Ndamase related to Grace experience: This happened to me once, such horrible experience. Get well soon Grace. Thobi Rose commented: Oh man, Grace. Sending you so much love. Please rest up!!! GRACE MONDLANA SHARES HEALTH SCARE WITH FANS The 25-year-old posted content from the hospital showing the medical care she received for her fractured ankle. This traumatic incident happened after her much-publicised party for her dog, Kai. “I suddenly felt noxious while walking down the stairs that morning, and before I could react, I collapsed,” she began. Grace regained consciousness thanks to the dogs’ barking, after which her helper called for an ambulance. “I tried to stand up, but I couldn’t move. Fortunately, the dogs started barking, and I regained consciousness. My helper then called for an ambulance,” she added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Grace Mondlana (@grace._mondlana) MORE TO THE COLLAPSE THAN MEETS THE EYE While Grace thought the collapse was caused by fatigue, it turned out to be more serious, requiring surgery. “At first I assumed that it was just fatigue and that had resulted in a fractured ankle. The swelling on my ankle indicated that it could be more than just a fracture. X-rays revealed a torn and sprained ligament, which required surgery to align,” she wrote. NEW MEDICAL CONDITION DISCOVERED Regarding her newly discovered medical condition, Grace wrote, “We learnt that I have a neurological condition that caused me to collapse. I have begun physiotherapy to start the recovery journey for my ankle.” She also revealed that she is still on medication and recovering at home after spending eight nights in hospital.
