Thabo Smol shows us all what self love is about

Thabo Mabogwane, also known as Thabo Smol from Black Motion, recently wrote a heartfelt message to himself.

He took to his social media page, posting a photo of himself. In his message, he openly addressed the doubts that once surrounded his journey, expressing his pride in overcoming those challenges.

“I’ve fallen hard on my knees asking my God what’s up with this hole I was in and stuck my head up high through the darkest hours of my life and fought demons that speak in distant voices chanting ‘you’ll never make it’ but I’m a soldier and know the values of dreaming, wishing, expressing and executing the mission, I fought hard coz my spirit was my fuel when my mind gave in and my body failed me,” he wrote.

He concluded his note by thanking himself and recognised his importance to the system.

“I’m thankful of myself and I thank myself for knowing that I’m important and needed in the system. Know your worth and stand your ground against these emotional demons. THANK YOURSELF, baba please bless everybody’s hustle and mine too,” he concluded.

According to TshisaLIVE, Black Motion duo Thabo and Bongani “Mörda” Mohosana split up and Bongani was replaced by Kabelo “Problem Child Ten83″ Koma.

Mörda however told TshisaLIVE he was on good terms with Thabo regardless of the “new” member introduced to the public as his replacement.

“We are cool, it’s just that I was surprised there is a new member. I had no idea what was going on. I was focusing on this album since I don’t have Twitter.

“I don’t know what that is about but we will talk about it when the time is right and we’re together. I am shocked to be replaced. We will have our way to resolve this. I just want to hear from them. I want to see him face to face,” he told the publication.
