‘What will I be doing during the week?’ Thapelo Molomo’s side hustle
Earlier this year the star made headlines as he started his side hustle of selling eggs and atchaar. While his singing career was blooming, the star did not neglect his duties as a warrant officer as he juggled both jobs. The star has refused to quit his job as an officer saying “I will proceed with my work, I will multi- task. I have always been multitasking anyway, so there is nothing new really, even though the audience is now big, but I feel it will be possible because musicians mostly work during the weekends, so what will I be doing during the week? I must generate an income. I will continue with my work” he said in an interview with East Coast Radio.
