Sophie Lichaba has been bracing us with her ultimate talent and pure unique acting on our television screens for decades now. You cannot mention Generations and forget to talk about Queen Moroka. As that was her character's name which serious owned and smashed - literary, every scene she was involved on at that time when Generations. She was definitely part of the golden era of Generations. Although she left Generations, she's a multi-skilled woman and had other things to do in her life. Apart from acting, she's an entrepreneur, a presenter, woman of God and an amazing parent, wife, just to name a few. She's a great all round family woman. I truly feel she deserves her name to be put out there with the stars nor icons of our South African film and soapies, in fact the acting industry. Her effortless work in the industry earns the points to be an icon. Hence it's important that we thank her now for all her contribution in the acting and television industry and beyond.
I also noticed that she was now being body shamed on social media due to her weight loss. It has been so serious that many people think she was dying. As I was going through the comments I realized how heartless certain individuals are in this world. No-one deserve such treatment from fellow human beings, it's just inhumane for humans to behave in a manner that offends another person. I figured out that she has diabetics, which has been truly devastating to her health and all she needed from the public was just support. Especially in these tough and testing times, she didn't need to be judged by the public. Hence I wrote this piece to just show her how much she's still loved and appreciated in this country.

Here's More Information About Diabetes:
Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood. You can also have prediabetes. This means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Having prediabetes puts you at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.
