Thapelo Molomo, the season 18 winner of #IdolsSA, shares how he plans to spend his R1Million
“I plan to touch lives and get myself property, for my daughter as well. I need to leave a legacy for my baby. That’s really important for me,” said the latest local millionaire.
Over the years, the 29-year-old sang as a background vocalist for gospel group Spirit of Praise and other renowned artists but in 2022 he decided it was his time to shine.
“I did a lot of background singing for a lot of artists. I also tried my own ways and realised I needed a bigger platform to show off my talent.
“Starting with a great foundation every time, staying humble, allowing yourself to go through the journey before going onto big stages, getting to learn and getting the experience is good.”
Prayer has been his go-to throughout his journey in the competition.
“I was praying and meditating, making sure I uplift my spirit first. My relationship with God sustained me. It’s through His grace that I am here. I was really happy to be with Nozi in the top two. She’s such an amazing lady. We connect in so many ways, spiritually more than anything,” he said.
