Mohale Motaung Excited After Buying First House
Motaung, who recently became the face of a prominent alcohol brand, shared that the home-buying process was surprisingly smooth.
“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 explained to Zimoja.
Grateful for the opportunity, he added:
“Everything came together just as I’d hoped. We thank God.”
At just 28, Motaung views his new property as a first step toward achieving his bigger dreams. He aims to establish a real estate portfolio and 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. It’s incredibly empowering to achieve this at a young age.”
Motaung revealed that he began the purchasing process in July, opting to buy directly from a developer. This decision spared him from costly transfer fees, making the transition into homeownership easier.
Becoming A Property Mogul
He hopes his journey inspires others to invest in their futures and work toward similar goals.
“I’m focused on building a solid foundation for my future, and I hope this journey inspires others to believe they can do the same,” he said.
Reflecting on the unstable nature of the entertainment industry, Motaung emphasized the importance of securing a “Plan B” outside of showbiz.
“Our industry doesn’t have a very steady and consistent income,” he remarked.
Since his split from Mhlongo, Motaung has focused on building his brand and exploring new ventures, with this recent purchase marking a significant personal achievement. As he settles into his new role as a homeowner, he remains determined to turn his property dreams into a lasting legacy.
