Sophie Lichaba née Mphasane, formerly Sophie Ndaba, is a South African actress. She played Queen Moroka in the soap Generations. In 2016, she was a guest judge in the final Miss South Africa 2016 beauty pageant.
Background
Lichaba's father, Solly Mphasane, died in 2016. She suffers from diabetes. With her former husband, Themba Ndaba, she has two children, Rudo and Lwandle. She adopted her niece, Shallon Ndaba, following the death of her sister, Tiny Mphasane. She married Max Lichaba in 2017. In late 2018, Lichaba was the victim of a rumour, which claimed that she had died.
Education

Broke And Homeless
In September 2022, it was reported that Sophie was broke and homeless after losing an R2 million house after her failure to service her bond with Mercantile Bank. She lost the house she bought for over R2.2 million in October 2021, after she struggled to keep up with her monthly instalments. The development came to light when Mercantile Bank was granted judgment against the actress at the Johannesburg High Court a fortnight ago. This was after she failed to pay the bank over an R1 million shortfall from the proceeds of the sale of her home. The banking group is also likely to go after her other assets, if she has any, in order to recoup the whopping deficit. [1]
