“With the harsh economy upon, it’s possible to go from being a millionaire to being completely broke in a few weeks. So when Thapelo Molemo, the winner of Idols SA Season 18, was seen selling eggs and atchaar from his car boot many feared for the worst.
In a video that went viral on social media the singer who is also a police officer is seen delivering trays of eggs to his customers. You can watch the video below:

Is the video making you a bit worried? Don’t worry as he has now cleared the air and revealed why he opted to be a street vendor.
“I’m not broke. I’m just trying to impact people’s lives. I invested the cash prize in a home for my family. I needed to get myself involved in a small project. Me selling eggs and atchaar is a motivation for the youth and musicians to create employment for themselves instead of waiting for it.”
“Creating employment for ourselves does not require you to think too big. With R500, you can buy a box of eggs, get profit and build from that,” Thapelo said.
“I manage all these things by creating a smart time management table. I know midweek I’m at work, then after hours I deliver my atchaar and eggs, then I go to the studio, weekends I do gigs, so I’m hustling.”
“I’m mobile; people order, and I drive my old car to deliver, but I’m planning to open a shop.”
Phew, Such relief!
