Born in 1999, Kamogelo Mphela also popularly known as Kamo Mphela has climbed the ladders of success to quickly become one of the most successful young self-made entertainers in South Africa.
With an estimated net worth of around R13 million, Kamo Mphela can easily afford the life that most young women dream of, thanks to her talent and hard work.
A few weeks ago, the young musician bought a new car that got netizens talking. Here is everything you need to know about Kamo Mphela’s car and why she was mocked after her new purchase.
Details about Kamo Mphela’s car
Kamo Mphela recently bought herself a sleek car. Celebrity commentator Musa Khawula took to Twitter to share photos of Kamo Mphela next to her new car.
Kamo Mphela’s car is a Mercedes Benz and although specific details about the young dancer’s new German machine, including its price and exact model, are not available the car looks very posh.
In a tweet dated 11th January 2022, Kamo Mphela expressed her desire to upgrade her car to a Mercedes Benz V 300. Talk about manifestation!
Going by the market rates, a new Mercedes Benz V 300 goes for not less than R1.7 million. The Mercedes Benz is one of the best German machines and is a symbol of luxury.
Why did people mock Kamo Mphela after purchasing her car?
Shortly after Musa Khawula shared news and photos of Kamo Mphela’s car, comments flooded Khawula’s post but not all were positive.
In the photo, Kamo Mphela was not wearing any makeup or glamorous clothes and her new natural image was far from the dolled-up Kamo Mphela that South Africans have come to know her far and they did not hesitate to point this out.
Several tweeps did not hesitate to ask if indeed the lady in the photo was Kamo with some saying that if Musa Khawula had not mentioned her name they would not have known it was Kamo.
But despite the reaction at her face without make-up, Kamo’s fans were generally supportive and proud of the young lady who at only 23 years-old is already purchasing sleek cars that many can only dream of.
How does Kamo Mphela make her money?
Kamo makes money from her work as an entertainer and is one of the most expensive acts to book.
Sources indicate that she charges R35 000 to perform. This amount does not include transport or accommodation for five people who are part of her team. The five people include her manager, a DJ and two dancers.
Kamo Mphela only came to the limelight a couple of years ago after a video of her dancing went viral. The young star who believes that fame doesn’t last for a long time has capitalized on her time in the limelight and she is winning big.
Regarded as the queen of Amapiano, Kamo Mphela has worked with some of the biggest names in South Africa including the Major League DJz, Nadia Nakai, and the late Killer Kau.
