Idols winner Thapelo Molomo is now selling eggs

South African Idols season 18 winner Thapelo Molomo, was spotted selling eggs from the boot of his car. 

After winning South African Idols, the 29-year-old Warrant Officer from Mokopane revealed last year that he will continue his job at the SAPS while pursuing his music career.  

However, the Idols winner has now merged into the egg business with his other hustle which caused a huge stir on social media, leaving Mzansi peeps curious.

Many are alleging that he no longer has the money which he won at the music competition.

According to the Daily Sun, Thapelo still has his money, however, he is trying to secure more funds by creating multiple forms of income for himself.

“It’s a motivation for the people in the music industry to say, let’s try other ways of getting money because it’s difficult to get it right every time in the music space,” he said to the publication mentioned above.

“It’s better if you have a side hustle where you know you have other money coming in…Don’t be shy with your side hustle,” he said.

The musician encourages other entertainers to venture into other businesses like him.

“Sell those perfumes or chickens…Sell whatever you can! [My business] is going extremely well,” said the 30 year old that also sells atchaar.

Thapelo added, “The very same business that people might laugh at is giving me money…I work as both a counsellor and a musician, and I am managing well…Time management and being focused are my things,” he said.
