SOCIALITE and reality TV personality Inno Morolong (29) is counting her blessings after being involved in an accident that left her car, worth R1,5 million and designer clothes burnt to ashes.
The Diamond & Dolls personality was travelling from Joburg to Welkom, Free State, on Saturday, 7 May, when the accident occurred.
“On Saturday, driving to see my family. I was 30 minutes away from home and there was a pothole I was trying to avoid, and I lost control of the car. It flew on the side of the road, went over a fence and I heard a loud sound. It was the air bag going off. There was so much fire that I couldn’t see. Everything was blurry,” she said.
Inno said she almost got burnt together with the car, but that did not happen because of a Good Samaritan who helped her.
“I was bleeding. I just looked for the unlock button and managed to unlock the car. I saw my phone and grabbed it. A white lady helped me get out of the car, which was already on fire. Luckily, I didn’t burn,” she said.
“All my belongings were inside – my travelling bags and gifts for my family, which all burnt down. My designer bags, clothes and shoes – everything burnt into ashes,” said Inno.

She was rushed to hospital, but she has been discharged and is recovering at home.
“My head was injured and my left eye is swollen. Both my hands are badly bruised. My mum is taking care of me,” she said.
Inno said her boyfriend would be buying her another car.
“The car that burnt down was worth R1,5 million, of which my boyfriend got for me. But it’s fine because my man said he would get me another one. I thank God for life,” she said.
Diamond & Dolls starts filming its second season this month, and the reality personality will be part of the show.
Inno, who spent R200 000 on a new body last year, is also currently booked for a breast lift and arm liposuction.
