Eastern Cape-born TV personality Thembisa Mdoda-nxumalo is out of hospital and recovering at home after a long battle with Covid-19 that started in April.
The Mdoda family asked for prayers from the public when she was admitted to hospital a month ago.
She tested positive for Covid19 and her condition was further aggravated by an allergy.
Mthatha-born Mdoda-nxumalo said she first fell ill in April and was in and out of Morningside and Sandton Mediclinics in Johannesburg receiving treatment.
"I am so grateful to all my supporters, my colleagues, friends and, most importantly, my family. My children and husband have been my saving grace," Mdoda-nxumalo said.
"I was in hospital on and off for two months from April before spending a full month in hospital recently. It has been a frightening time. I am thankful to the specialists that monitored me carefully, who were able to diagnose and treat me."
She will be taking a break from the public eye to focus on her full recovery and doctors have advised that it will take six months for that to happen.
