Thapelo Molomo has announced that he has returned to work following his victory on Idols SA Season 18.
This comes after the star took a leave of absence due to his journey.
Thapelo was relieved of his duties as a warrant officer at Brits police station in the North West in order to devote more time to his music.
On Instagram, he said he was greeted warmly by his coworkers upon his return to work on Monday.
“My first day at work was so beautiful. My colleagues were so welcoming, everyone was so excited. We took a lot of pictures and they asked me many questions about how I am coping and questions surrounding my Idols SA experience”
Thapelo plans to continue working full time in the police service.
“The police service has been a family to me, very supportive. They are very supportive of my music career. They indicated they will continue to support me provided I continue to do my work as expected. During the week most of the time I will be at work and do music after hours, like studio sessions and so forth. Then weekend is definitely music nothing else. I’m excited to be part of the SAPS and about going back to work while juggling music.”
The singer took to his timeline to share images from his day back at work.
