Sonia Mbele has been in the acting industry since the nineties. The actress gained fame when she slew her role in Generations as Ntombi Khumalo. She was Sibusiso Dlomo‘s love interest in the soapie. Sonia Mbele’s business empire has grown since then.
Amid the news that the popular show Real Housewives of Joburg has been given the green light for their 2021 slate, Sonia Mbele’s production company is rumoured not to be handling the new season. This news is a shock to the public because her company, Sonia Mbele films, dealt with the first two seasons of the South African Real Housewives franchise.

Sonia Mbele has been working very hard in the past years, and her business empire is growing. The production house, which she is both owner and director of, is her brainchild, and it has produced shows that we love and watch.

While her fans wondered where she had disappeared to a few years ago, the actress was busy reinventing herself. Sonia Mbele’s business empire has expanded, and she is now a media entrepreneur who is a force to be reckoned with. Her production company is the force behind Pastors’ Wives, 100 lives, Take me out, This is me, and Real Housewives of Johannesburg. She wrote and produced the comedy-drama Meet the Radebe’s.
Why Sonia Mbele started her business
The actress claims that she is more comfortable working in a female-led environment. The media industry has been male-led for so long, and she believes that it’s time women take the lead. With that mindset, she started her production company. Her most significant step so far was working with the Real Housewives merchandise that began in America.
Apart from having a running production racking in money, she is back to the small screen. She landed a role in Diepcity as Zola and in Blood and water as KB’s mom. Sonia seems to have seeded herself both behind the camera and in front of the camera.
