Sophie Ndaba Lockdown Performance
Yes, the screen queen is back, and she's back with a vengeance. Since Season 5 of Lockdown began, audiences have been clamoring for more. The series Lockdown is notable for its cliffhangers, storyline twists, emotional roller coaster, and all-female cast.
Sophie joined the cast this season and plays Palesa, a broken nurse at the Kgotsong Asylum who is poised to wreak havoc on the institution. Sophie had taken a break from the spotlight to focus on her health, but her triumphant return has everyone praising her.
Her ground-breaking acting had the audience teary-eyed and on the verge of reaching for tissues. Many fans were overjoyed to see her return, and they are in for a treat this season.
Fans couldn't stop gushing about how pleased they were to see Sophie back on TV and how well she performed in that event.
Sophie Ndaba is a 49-year-old woman. She was born on June 29, 1972, in Soweto, South Africa. Sophie looks forward to her birthdays. On her special day, she adores giving back. Sophie celebrated her 42nd birthday with children from the Orlando Children's Home in 2015.
She is passionate about children's charities because she grew up in an orphanage. Her mother sent her to a Zimbabwean orphanage so that she may receive a better education than she would have received in apartheid South Africa.
Sophie Ndaba's amazing weight loss in 2018 astounded her fans. She had been losing weight steadily for a few years, but her thinner form alarmed some, who suspected she was suffering from anorexia.
Sophie admitted to losing a lot of weight, but she was pleased with her new appearance.
"I don't give a damn if others think it's too much. See, I can say I need one more kilo, but they could say to someone else, "hey, this individual needs ten kilos." No, I've made the decision that when I'm happy, I'm happy. During an interview on 5FM's Thaboothy Drive broadcast, she told Thando Thabethe, "I am delighted and I feel amazing."
Sophie Ndaba's admirers were concerned about her health when a photo of her appeared frail. Some even went so far as to imply she was ill, with many assuming that she was infected with HIV or had cancer.
The actress, however, confessed she has diabetes in an emotional post, and she was upset by the negative comments she received about her body.
“Some people sadden me because I have lost both my parents through diabetes, I nursed them so I know this killer disease. It's real. No joke. Our fellow sisters and brothers commit suicide because of pressure of what you negative heartless people think. I stopped worrying what any negative person thinks long ago,” she wrote on her Instagram page.
In late 2018, Sophie was the victim of a terrible death hoax. The star was said to have died, according to a bogus news article. Many people believed the news because of recent rumors regarding her alleged illness. One Twitter user commented, "Please tell me Sophie Ndaba is not dead."
The "horrific" scam was lambasted by the actress.
Sophie Ndaba Husband
Max Lichaba, a businessman, is Sophie Ndaba's husband. Max was introduced to her through his brothers. Sophie turned down his approaches at first because she didn't believe he was single. Sophie was persuaded by the businessman's family, notably his grandmother, that he was serious about her.
He asked the actress to marry him several times before she ultimately said yes. Sophie Lichaba is her new name.
Sophie's strongest supporter, Max, defended her when her detractors said she was dying of HIV as a result of her weight.
"I admire her for choosing to lose weight, changing her eating habits… I also pray that she keeps fighting for life and never cares what people are saying on social media about her… But if she dies they'll post "diabetes is real guys" but they can't support her now whilst alive,” he wrote on Instagram.
Sophie's third boyfriend is Max. She was formerly married to bishop Keith Harrington and actor Themba Ndaba (1994–2007). (2011-2013).
Early this year, she was rumored to have split up with her husband Max Lichaba, after she changed her surname on social media from Lichaba to Ndaba.
