Sonia Sedibe opens up about her TV comeback

Johannesburg- Sonia Sedibe's highly-anticipated return to the small screen has caused quite a lot of excitement amongst fans. 

As reported by The Juice earlier this week, Sonia has been cast for a role in e.tv's Gold Diggers. (Read more on that here

Even though Sonia was quite shy to speak about her new role, before it was officially confirmed, she recently took to Instagram where she opened up about how excited she is. 

Sonia explained that for a very long time she was adamant about focusing on raising her children, and growing her business. Adding that, she often ignored all those "pleading messages" from fans for her to return, because she didn't quite "get it." 

But Sonia has labelled her return as one of "God's real plans" for her. 


I guess for a long time I was in denial about a lot of things...one of which was how EVERYONE who cared about my craft wanted to see see me back on screen!!! I honestly didn't get it and ignored all those pleading msgs on Twitter and Instagram. I was adamant that I'm going to focus on other things,raising my children and growing my businesses. Which both are doing extremely well...I guess that's when GOD's real "plans" for me also resurfaced, he knows our plans better than we do ...Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you..." Before I knew it I had taken the decision to go back to acting... And boom within a split second of doing so EVERYONE interested in my "come back" for lack of finding a better word went absolutely maal!!! And I find myself with a thousand interview requests/cover shoots etc which I kinda expected...what I didn't expect was to wake up to silly old me making "world news" #GoldDiggers in the vein of Halle Berry's international divorce making news... I was like GOD really ??
