TWO years after surviving a horror car crash,

actor Rapulana Seiphemo has not forgotten all the prayers and support he received after the ordeal.

Rapulana was involved in an accident that left three people dead and the soap star in intensive care.

According to a police report at the time‚ the actor was fleeing from an attempted hijacking.

During an interview‚ Rapulana said moments from the accident have stayed with him still and often resurface when he is driving alone late at night.

“It’s still a part of me but I don’t want to allow it to dictate to me and how I live my life. I can’t live in fear of what happened before. I am 100% now.”

The star said he just remembered being visited in hospital‚ and was grateful to have survived the ordeal.

“I have recovered fully. I just remember there being a whole lot of people at the hospital and I knew that there were prayers for me around the world. It helped.”

The star soon returned to his role on

and is now preparing for a new adventure as a radio host.

Rapulana will soon make his radio debut as a host on two Motsweding FM shows.

He said he was insanely nervous but was confident it would go down well.

“This is my first show on radio. It is exciting‚ I have done my training and I am ready.

“I have had to learn the desk and do test broadcasts. Everything looks fine.

“I am very nervous‚ like any time I take to the stage‚ but this is just a new avenue for me.”

He said he had been sitting on the broadcasti­ng idea for a bit before he decided to take it on.

“It really won’t affect my work on because I work on

in the week and then present on the weekends‚” he added.
