Kerishnie Naiker shares inspiring recovery journey after tragic accident caused by negligent tourist
Former Miss SA and health activist, Kerishnie Naiker has shared an emotional video taken a year ago when exiting a rehab facility after an accident left her unable to walk.
Miss South Africa 1997 Kerishnie Naiker recently took a trip down memory lane by sharing an emotional video of her wheeling herself out of a rehabilitation centre following the freak accident that left her with serious bodily injuries.
In May 2024, while visiting the picturesque Cape Point, Naiker's day took a devastating turn. Tripped by a tourist preoccupied with capturing the perfect photograph, she fell down two steps after the tourist attempted to backtrack for a better shot.
On her Instagram post Naiker detailed the incident.
"While on stairs from the lighthouse at Cape Point, she walked backwards into me tripping me down two steps. She tried to get the lighthouse in focus and took one step too far ... I'm thankful that I did not injure my head and remained compos mentis to get @netcare911 to favourably intervene, I did incur a serious injury," wrote the beauty queen.

Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz reunite in Madrid
Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz were spotted sharing smiles during a recent museum visit in Madrid. The two stars took a break from filming their new movie, Day Drinker , to explore the Museo Reina Sofía. Their warm camaraderie was clear as they posed arm in arm in front of a striking black-and-white mural. The museum's Instagram even shared the moment, captioning it: 'Thanks for joining us @johnnydepp and @penelopecruzoficial, until next time!' This marks the fourth time Depp, 62, and Cruz, 51, have teamed up on screen. Their previous collaborations include Blow (2001), Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), and Murder on the Orient Express (2017). Now, they are back together for Day Drinker , an action thriller directed by Marc Webb and penned by Zach Dean, according to Daily Mail. The film follows a mysterious stranger (Depp) who crosses paths with a grieving bartender (Madelyn Cline) on a private yacht. Their lives become entangled with a criminal figure played by Cruz, leading to unexpected twists and turns. Orlando Bloom, Depp's co-star from the Pirates franchise, showed his support by leaving two red heart emojis on the museum post. He also hinted at the possibility of 'getting the band together' for another movie, sparking excitement among fans. This is Johnny Depp's first major film role since 2018's Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald . After his highly publicised 2022 defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp has been slowly making a comeback. He starred in the French film Jeanne du Barry , which opened the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and directed Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness . At the San Sebastian Film Festival premiere last September, Cruz reunited with Depp, highlighting their enduring friendship. She praised him, saying, 'Many years have passed and I have not only made three movies with him, but I also count on him as a great friend. I've always been impressed by his kindness, his brilliant mind, his talent and his peculiar sense of humour.' The buzz around Day Drinker is growing, with a talented cast including Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto, and Anika Boyle. The film promises a gripping story of connection, crime, and unexpected bonds. In today's fast-paced world, it's refreshing to see such genuine friendship and artistic collaboration thrive.
