Police Minister Bheki Cele congratulated Warrant Officer Thapelo Molomo on winning Idols Season 18. Thapelo, from Mokopane in Limpopo, was crowned the winner of one of the show’s most heated seasons yet. Thapelo won the prize after a grueling round of eliminations, with Nozi Sibiya coming in second.
When his name was called, the police officer couldn’t help but get down on his knees and pray. Police Minister Bheki Cele, who attended the finale, congratulated the newly crowned winner on behalf of the SAPS.
In a statement, Minister said “The member serves as a beacon of hope for many police officers who are on a daily basis faced with psychosocial challenges. He has illustrated to thousands of officers that hard work, determination and perseverance is the foundation of any successful human being. We are proud of him and wish him all the best. We cannot wait to have him back in office to continue serving our men and women in blue”, concluded Minister of Police General Bheki Cele.”
