In 2014, Nhlanhla who lived in Ngwelezane won the national lottery jackpot of R18-million – and life suddenly seemed much less gloomy.
Sadly, he died on impact together with his passenger, Siyanda Gumede, on the R102 near the Felixton off-ramp just after 4.30pm.
The V8 convertible he was driving crumpled beyond recognition as it rolled multiple times.
Both north- and south-bound lanes were closed for nearly an hour as emergency services worked to clear the scene.
The driver of the bakkie and both passengers were taken to hospital in a critical condition and it is believed they are recovering well.
