Penny Ntuli, the beloved Jozi FM radio personality, recently found herself at the center of a social media frenzy after a harrowing experience during heavy snowfall in KwaZulu-Natal.

Amid the swirling drama online, rumors began to swirl that Penny had succumbed to her situation, leaving netizens in shock. Her family quickly took to Facebook to put those scary whispers to bed, confirming that she was indeed alive and recovering from a nasty cold—not from any polar bear encounter, as some might have imagined! Reports surfaced that she was receiving treatment for hypothermia after her overnight adventure turned into an unexpected hospital visit, but thankfully, she is now back home resting, certainly with her heartwarming humor intact.
