Beautiful Model Who Survived Fatal Accident That Killed Her Friend, Shows Off Her Scars (Photos)

Meet Neli Zuma, a tenacious model who has learnt to show-off her scars after a tragic car accident left her fearing for her future.

According to a report by MSN, when Neli Zuma was just 23 years old, she was fighting for her life in ICU with internal bleeding after her friend’s car span out of control and hit a wall.

Neli, now 25, was left with a gaping hole in her stomach and doctors had no choice but to remove skin from her thigh and sew it to the open wound to prevent her bleeding out.

Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do for her close friend who passed away two days later. Neli, who had just started out with her modelling career, was left with unusual scarring on her stomach and thigh and she had to use a colostomy bag for 10 months.

Her body-confidence had hit 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.
