SONIA MBELE IN HOSPITAL?

She was said to have spent about two weeks in hospital and was discharged just two weeks before she attended the Real Housewives of Johannesburg launch. It was reported that the former Generations actress experienced dizziness before she collapsed. A source speaking to the publication was quoted as saying,

“Thank God she was working from home that day, and her mother and helper were at her house, both had to spring into action.”

Even at the launch, Mbele was said to have quickly taken some private time out for herself and went into her room upstairs to sleep as she was still recovering. She reportedly left the event as soon as it was done in an attempt not to draw attention to herself.
