POPULAR TV actor Wandile Molebatsi, 27, is yet to make a full recovery after surviving a serious car accident last year.
But viewers will be happy to know that Molebatsi, who plays the quiet and laid-back tracker Blessing Dlamini on M-Net's soapie, The Wild, will be back on their screens later this month.
"I woke up in the intensive care unit at Garden City Clinic. I had a diffusion of the brain, a shattered left hip and fractured third, fourth and fifth vertebrae," said Molebatsi
"I still go to therapy for the head trauma but the limp and pain in my hip has subsided substantially. I believe I will make a full recovery."
After a recovery period stretching six months, Molebatsi is happy and back at work.
Molebatsi has announced that he will be launching a "wear your safety belt campaign" sometime this year.
"The seat belt I was wearing when I got involved in the accident saved my life, literally! So I will be working with the Department of Transport to spread the message," Molebatsi said.
"I wish I had the resolve that my on-screen character, Blessing, has. I think I used to tap into his resolve to get through the insanely quiet nights in hospital."
Molebatsi started as a KTV presenter at the age of 11. He starred alongside James Earl Jones in the movie Born Free at the age of 13.
He left KTV when he matriculated and then enrolled at the Wits University drama school.
Molebatsi has featured in Soul Buddies, Soul City, Rhythm City and the 2006 political mini-series When We Were Black. He has also appeared in the films Gothia Caper and Cuppen.
He was in his element in Skeem, a film in which he plays the lead character, Vista. His brilliant performance eclipsed everyone's, including seasoned actor Rapulana Seiphemo.
Molebatsi portrays Ndebele in a feature film A Million Colours which was inspired by the lives of Muntu Ndebele and Norman Knox in the 1970's classic e'Lollipop.
A Million Colours will open on Thursday, April 26 at cinemas country wide.
