Mohale Motaung, the social media influencer who rose to prominence after his high-profile relationship with Somizi Mhlongo, has achieved a significant milestone: he’s a homeowner.
Nearly two years after his much-publicised divorce, Motaung has purchased his first house, a testament to his resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. Now the face of an alcohol brand, he’s celebrating this accomplishment, a significant step towards his ambitious property goals.
"It's incredibly empowering to achieve this at a young age," Motaung shared. His purchase is not merely a personal triumph; it's a strategic move in his broader plan to become a property mogul.
"My main goal is to stay here for a few years, then eventually rent it out and move on to the next property," he explained. This calculated approach reveals a level of financial acumen often overlooked in the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry.
The acquisition process, which commenced in July, proved surprisingly straightforward. Motaung purchased his home directly from the developers, bypassing some of the complexities typically associated with property transactions.
"I bought from a developer who made it smoother and I didn't have to worry about transfer costs, which was a huge advantage," he said.
This streamlined process allowed him to focus on securing his investment rather than navigating the intricacies of legal and financial hurdles.
His gratitude is palpable. "Everything came together just as I'd hoped. We thank God," he stated. This sentiment underlines a broader message of hope and aspiration, particularly relevant given the unpredictable nature of his chosen profession.
Motaung's journey is not just about bricks and mortar; it's about building a secure future. He recognises the inherent instability of the entertainment industry, a sector known for its fluctuating income streams.
"Our industry doesn't have a very steady and consistent income," he acknowledged.
"I hope this journey inspires others to believe they can do the same," he added, encouraging others to pursue financial security and long-term stability.
