Running and maintaining a highly demanding side hustle comes with its pros and cons. However, Sophie Lichaba seems to do it all with grace!

Many celebrities have often relayed stories of how exploring one creative outlet isn’t enough to sustain their lifestyle, hence they are prone to look into other avenues. This sentiment could easily find resonance with legendary South African actress and businesswoman, Sophie Lichaba. The birth of her viable side business, Sophla Events, has firmly solidified herself in the world of event planning.

Sophie’s industry mates and ordinary clients alike, have enlisted her impeccable services for their respective events. There has been many iconic events where Sophie showed off her event planning prowess, such as at top businessman David Malibu’s airy wedding in Mauritius.

Just like most businesses, Sophie’s company was not immune to the curveballs that naturally arise. She once fired her former personal assistance, Rose Legodi, who allegedly offended a client after meeting up with him at a hotel room, dressed inappropriately.

Diversity is crucial in business, therefore Sophie created many avenues within the company which range from, Concierge services, artist management, image consulting and many others.

On the company’s website, Sophla Events is simply described as the following:
