Former Generations actress Sophie Ndaba has hit back at a journalist who claimed that her posh house in Johannesburg had been “auctioned” after she failed to honour her contract with Mercantile Bank.

Sunday World, on 23 September, reported the thespian lost the house she bought for over R2.2-million in October 2021, after she struggled to keep up with her monthly installments.

 

 

 

 

According to court documents allegedly seen by the tabloid, Ndaba and her company, Sophla Trading, (who were cited as the first and second respondents) obtained a R2.2 million home loan from the bank to purchase the house on 15 September 2016.

The house in question was featured on Top Billing in June 2016.

‘EDUCATION 101’

Sophie did not take kindly to the reports and subsequently took to her personal Instagram account to address the allegations.

“Dear Sunday World and your stupid stupid journalist who wrote that my house was sold by the bank. Darling let me give you education 101, when a bank sells a house it’s called an auction [and] I sold my house through CF Property agents,” the actress said in a video.

According to the publication, Sophie Ndaba failed to pay the bank over R1 million shortfall from the proceeds of the sale of her home.

“The shortfall is between me and Mercantile Bank and that’s my fight that I am fighting privately with them and it doesn’t involve you,” she hit back.

On 12 February 2019, Mercantile Bank instructed its lawyers to write a letter to Ndaba and inform her that she has breached the contract, however, when she failed to settle the arrears, the lawyers sent another letter on 5 March 2019 – telling her that the banking group was cancelling the agreement.

Therefore, Mercantile Bank, in 2020, cancelled the agreement after Sophie ignored its repeated attempts to get her to settle the arrears, the tabloid reported.

Gomora actress MamSonto Connie Chiume said she still wants to marry despite being 70. Connie is one of the most decorated actresses Mzansi has ever produced, and he has a lot to show for it. Throughout her career, she won several awards; a few actors across the country can match her awards cabinet. Her role on Balck Panther as the Mining Tribe elder epitomes her skills on television. She recently won two-lifetime Achievements awards within two months and can’t get enough of the celebrations and congratulatory messages. It seemed that Connie had everything, but she spoke of the things she still wanted despite achieving many goals in her life.

 

In her life, Connie had been with two husbands whom she lost to divorce and death. Firstly, Connie got married to an unidentifiable man whom she divorced from. In her interview with Podcast with MacG, the Gomora star spoke at large about her relationship with her ex-husband. She also said about how they relate currently and what they share. After talking about the love life, MacG asked Sonto about her intentions regarding remarrying. Don’t get it twisted; Connie had conditions for any man to be able to be her new husband. Unexpectedly, the granny still wants to return to the game and find her new husband.

Gomora actress MamSonto ‘Connie Chiume’ still wants to marry
After Connie spoke of her how bad her ex-husband used to treat her, MacG asked the 70-year-old actress whether she still wanted to marry at her age. Connie agreed resoundingly, saying that she still wanted to marry. She even jokingly asked MacG if he had an Uncle who she could match with. After deciding to marry again, Sonto said that the man who would marry him must be filthy rich. This sounded like a joke that being rich is a condition, but whether or not she still wants to marry was already answered.

It would be interesting to see Mam Connie’s, new love. Indeed, we have seen many people her age looking for love, and this can’t be a thing out of this world.
