Model who survived an accident which claimed the life of a friend says she has learned to show off her scars. Neli Zuma was left fighting for her life after the tragic smash and had to have skin removed from her thigh to cover a gaping wound in her stomach.

Neli, who was just 23 at the time, was left with scarring on her stomach and thigh and had to use a colostomy bag for 10 months.

Tragically her friend, whose car spun out of control and hit a wall, died after suffering fatal injuries from the accident.

Neli, who had just started out on her modelling career, said it left her body confidence at an all-time low.
But after months of trying to improve the way she saw herself, Neli from Durban, South Africa, decided it was time to show the world that she is no longer ashamed of her scars.

In addition to using her modelling to raise awareness on social media, Neli decided to create an online blog where she could share her journey and talk to others who have been through similar hardships.
Neli’s family and close friends also played a crucial role in her regaining the confidence to embrace her body.

Despite everything she has gone through, Neli no longer dreads going out in public during the summer time and she looks forward to a bright future.
