Sonia Mbele Opens Up About Suffering From A Deadly Disease. In May this year, Real Housewives of South Africa director Sonia Mbele was reportedly hospitalised for two weeks after she collapsed due to exhaustion.

SONIA MBELE OPENS UP ABOUT HAVING ANEMIA

Mbele revealed that she was diagnosed with the disease a few months ago, a few days before launching season 3 of Real Housewives of Johannesburg (RHOJ).

“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,” she said.

Anemia occurs when there aren’t enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to your body’s organs. This results in symptoms of tiredness or weakness.
