Sophie Lichaba (née Mphasane, formerly Ndaba; born 29 June 1973)[1] is a South African actress. She played Queen Moroka in the soap Generations.[2] In 2016, she was a guest judge in the final Miss South Africa 2016 beauty pageant.

She completed high school in Zimbabwe,[3] after which she pursued her modeling career. Her mother sent her to an orphanage in Eastlea, Harare, Zimbabwe so she could get a better education than what was available in apartheid South Africa.[4]

Personal life

Lichaba's father, Solly Mphasane, died in 2016.[5][6] She suffers from diabetes.[7] 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.[1] She married Max Lichaba in 2017.[8] In late 2018, Lichaba was the victim of a rumour, which claimed that she had died.[7][9]
