Thapelo Molomo Works At Cruise Ship To Make A Living

Season 18 Idol winner Thapelo Molomo works at cruise ship to make a living.

Pop Idols culture in Mzansi is usually perishable and has proved to be difficult to maintain. It’s a rare for a band or an individual that was popular for a relatively short period of time to have a staying power and season 18 Idols winner Thapelo Molomo is no exception. According to ZiMoja, the former SAPS warrant officer who left his job after winning the competition is now working on a cruise ship.

His powerful voice and charming personality won over the judges and audiences alike, and it seemed like he was destined for greatness. After his victory, Molomo received a million Rand in cash, signed a record deal and released an album, which received positive reviews. He toured the world and even performed in different countries. However, despite his early success, Molomo struggled to maintain his momentum in the competitive music industry.

According to the publication, as time passed, Molomo’s financial situation became increasingly dire. He was no longer able to make a living from his music and he struggled to find other opportunities. He even tried selling atchaar and eggs when gigs dried out. Eventually, he decided to take a chance and applied for a job on a cruise ship. Molomo was hired as a waiter and he quickly impressed his superiors with his hard work and positive attitude. He was promoted to a higher position within the ship’s hospitality department and he now manages a team of waiters and bartenders.

Although Molomo’s current job is a far cry from his days as an Idols winner, he is grateful for the stability and security it provides. He is able to support his family and save some money for the future, Zimoja report. He also continues to pursue his passion for music in his spare time, performing for his colleagues and guests on the ship. According to sources close to the situation, he left SA in October last year.
