According to ZiMoja, the producer is suffering autoimmune disease. She was diagnosed with the disease a few months ago, before launching season 3 of Real Housewives of Johannesburg.

At the time I thought I was just fatigued until my doctors performed additional tests which confirmed that I have anemia that has gone chronic.

Speaking to the aforementioned publication, Sonia said she’s been affected by the disease physically and emotionally.

I had to change my diet and eating habits, quit alcohol and I now have to go for drips to make sure I have enough iron.

Sonia Mbele tells Zimoja that she’s learning to live it as medication doesn’t work on her anymore.
