The singer and dancer lost control of her vehicle while driving to QwaQwa on 22 September 2018 and previously told Drum: "I am happy to be alive."
"It's been full three years not going out and not socialising with people after my car accident. Not because I was in pain or something but because I was ashamed of my sickness I had n still have a "mild Amnesia" after the car accident I had in 2018/09, [sic]" Skolopad said in an Instagram post.
"I would see who you are but wouldn't know your name which most people get offend by and it's so embarrassing to explain that forgot who they are and hide it by saying it old age, [sic]" she explained further.
