Sophie Ndaba responds to claims that she lost her house

Sophie Ndaba is a screen icon who rose to fame for her performance as the glamorous Queen Moroka in the television series Generations.

She is best known for this role. The actress gained media attention after she had a dramatic transformation in her appearance, during which time it was disclosed to her devoted following that she was battling sugar diabetes. After that, it was rumored that the actress had recovered from the setbacks she had experienced with her finances and health, and it was even rumored that she was dating a pastor.


 

Sophie Ndaba is in danger of having to give up her mansion.
The actress who made headlines was said to have fallen behind on her monthly payments when she was purchasing her property for 2.2 million rand. Because of this, the bank decided to put her home up for auction and then sell it to the general public, which has left her without a place to live. The actress lashed out at a journalist from the Sunday World who covered the item, demanding that the writer check her facts before reporting them.

Below is a video of Sophie Ndaba criticizing a journalist, which you can watch:
In the video, Sophie Ndaba talks about Sunday World and the journalist there named Sphe, whom she refers to as stupid. She addressed the issue and stated that she had sold the house to a property agency and that the shortfall would be between her and her bank. She went on to say that the shortfall would be between her and her bank.

The journalist who had stated that Sophie was sick received a response in which it was stated that the actress was fit as she displayed her physique, and it was asked if she appeared to be sick in any manner. The actress finished by pleading with the media to leave her and her family alone while she attempted to rewrite the story of her life.

Sophie Ndaba received a lot of positive feedback in the comment area of her post for the fact that she addressed the untrue rumors head-on. A lot of people had compassion for the actress and wanted to express their condolences to her and her family for what she was going through.

Another one of Sophie’s mansions has been foreclosed on by the bank.

In 2019, it was reported that the actress had been evicted from her first home because she had fallen behind on her monthly payments for a period of four months. The actress went so far as to admit that she had rented the house to other people who used it as offices, and that these individuals were the ones who had failed to pay her for her home. She owes KLM Setati the sum of R151 178, and the company has filed a lawsuit against her for failing to repay the bill.

In August this year, Tarryn and Clairise who had come to Zimbabwe to perform at the Yoyo Festival at Alex Sports Club were arrested by the police for breaching a contract.

TxC were allegedly paid R560 000 to perform in Kariba last year in October but failed to perform.

Tarryn and Clairise are said to have sneaked out of Zimbabwe at around 2 am and went back to South Africa without performing despite being paid all their dues. Their accommodation was also reportedly fully paid for.


 

 

After reports of their arrest went viral, the duo released a statement giving their side of the story. They alleged that Dj Rimo Jackson failed to honour his side of the contract even though they sent him a contract.

TxC added that they felt unsafe and uncomfortable upon arrival as they stated that Dj Rimo misrepresented the event and did not provide them with any security.

The duo, however, denied being arrested, claiming that they were instead held hostage by Dj Rimo.

WORLD’S OLDEST GRANDMA” – Here Is How South Africa’s Johanna Mazibuko Reached 128 Years

People within her community are pushing for South Africa’s Johanna Mazibuko to be recognised as the world’s oldest person by the Guinness World Records.

Nkukutane Johanna Mazibuko was born on 11 May 1894 and she has lived to see apartheid, both World Wars, man landing on the moon and saw through the independence of every colonised African country.

Every modern technology the world has now; from cars, aeroplanes, cellphones and the internet, was created during her lifetime which stretches over three centuries.

The matriarch has lived so long that of the seven children she bore, only two are still alive and she has over 50 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Although she has a hard time hearing, Gogo Mazibuko is still able to walk and see clearly.

The Amazing Story Of Five SA-Based Zimbabwean Farmers Who Impressed Former President Thabo Mbeki

She was raised on a maize farm in Ottosdal in the central North West Province of South Africa. The 128-year-old was the eldest of 12 children and she currently lives in Jouberton, Klerksdorp.

She told News24 that she got married to a man who was considerably older than her as he was a widower. The man took great care of her.

Gogo Mazibuko said:

“I was married to an older man. His first wife had died. He was an independent man. He had a horse carriage and cows. I would milk the cows and make butter to sell. That man treated me very well and made me forget about my life before him. I did not want for anything.”

Despite her husband being well off, Johanna was also a domestic worker for owners of farms.

Despite not being quite certain about how she has managed to live to see 128 years, Gogo Mazibuko believes her longevity can be credited to traditional diets.

She said she used to eat fresh milk, wild spinach and locusts.

Gogo Mazibuko is now 128 and she now stays with a carer who looks after her. The two are inseparable and cannot do without each other

DJ Maphorisa reaches out to Dr Malinga

It has come to light that Dr. Malinga has just been provided with a windfall by DJ Maphorisa in order to cover the SARS bill he owes.

The amazing dancer made an appearance on Podcast And Chill With MacG on September 8, 2022, and discussed his current struggles with money throughout the interview.


 

 

 

 

After accumulating a debt of R2.1 million, Dr. Malinga admitted that the South African Revenue Service (SARS) searched his residence and confiscated his belongings.

The stress of the situation was too much for Dr. Malinga, and she broke down and started crying on the podcast.

Since that day, people in South Africa have been doing all they can to provide him their support so that he may get back on his feet.

On the episode of Podcast and Chill that aired on September 19, stand-up comedian Mpho Popps said that musician and producer DJ Maphorisa provided R25,000 to Dr. Malinga so that he could get his life back on track so that he could get back on stage.

This was in spite of the fact that Dr. Malinga had a negative opinion of the hitmaker from Izolo.

Dr. Malinga has let it be known that he and the producer Kabza collaborated on a song, but eight months after entering the studio, the song has still not been made public. The dancer went on to say that DJ Maphorisa must have intervened in order to prevent Kabza from releasing it.

Phori and Dr. Malinga did not had the nicest friendship in the past between the two of them. Their argument became more heated a year ago when the dancer was accused by the producer of having hatred for him, and the producer threatened to shoot the dancer.

It’s possible that Maphorisa wanted to show Dr. Malinga that he was willing to work together by giving him R25,000.

Phori was not the only famous person to contribute money to the financially troubled musician.

Black Coffee gave R*** to Dr. Malinga as well as a donation.

Some people have been trying to book him in performances so that he can earn some money. He is going to be a part of Makhadzi’s One Woman Show that will take place in October.

The dynamic artist shared with his audience one week ago that he pai

Bank sells very ill Sophie Ndaba’s house, to go after her other assets

Very sick television actress Sophie Ndaba’s posh home in Johannesburg has been sold after she failed to service her bond with Mercantile Bank.


 

 

 

 

Ndaba, who has been battling sugar diabetes for several years, lost the house she bought for over R2.2-million in October 2021, after she struggled to keep up with her monthly instalments.

The heart-rending news came to the fore when Mercantile Bank was granted judgment against the talented thespian at the Johannesburg High Court a fortnight ago.

This came after the seemingly broke actress and wedding planner failed to pay the bank over 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.

The judgment, handed down by Judge Senyatsi on September 7, reads in part: “Having heard counsel and having considered the papers filed in the matter, the following order is made against the first and second respondents, jointly and severally, the one paying the other to be absolved.

“Payment in the amount of R1 089 588.08 [one million and eighty-nine thousand and five hundred and fifty-eight rands and eight cents] … Payment in the amount of R69 012.43 (sixty-nine thousand and twelve rand and forty-three cents].”

According to court documents that we have Sophie Ndaba and her company, Sophla Trading, who were cited as the first and second respondents, respectively, obtained a R2.2-million home loan from the bank to purchase the house on September 15 2016.

They were required to pay R22 347 in monthly instalments for 240 months. But the former Isidingo actress failed to honour the contract when she defaulted and was more than R80 000 in arrears.

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

Mercantile Bank finally cancelled the agreement a year later, on March 5 2020, after Sophie Ndaba ignored its repeated attempts to get her to settle the arrears.

“Notwithstanding demand lawfully made, the first and/or second defendants refused and/or neglected to make payment to the plaintiff in the sum of R2 254 545.85 together with accrued interest thereon at the rate of 10.5% per annum, calculated daily and compounded monthly in arrears from 1 January 2019 to date of payment,” read the court papers.

Mercantile Bank asked the high court to give it an order to sell the house to recoup its funds.

“Wherefore the plaintiff prays for judgment as follows: as against the first and second defendants, jointly and severally, the one paying the other to be absolved; payment of the sum of R2 254 545.85 at the rate 10.5% per annum calculated daily and compounded monthly in arrears from 1 January 2019 to date of payment, both date inclusive.

“Declaring that the immovable property registered in the first defendant’s name held by it under the titled deed … which correlated to … Featherbrook Estate, Krugersdorp, be declared specially and immediately executable.”

Sophie Ndaba failed to respond to written questions sent to her at the time of publishing
