Karabo Mogane, who captured the hearts of South Africa when he won Idols SA Season 11, is back with exciting news for his fans. He’s putting the final touches on his third studio album, and while many are eager to hear his latest work, Karabo has also been busy growing in ways that go beyond music.

Since winning the competition, Karabo's life has changed in many ways. Not only has he become a husband, but he is now a proud father to his first child. These personal milestones have had a big impact on him, shaping his views on patience, love, and family.

In a recent interview with Drum magazine, Karabo shared how fatherhood has changed him.

"Being a father has made me more patient," he said.

"I now appreciate the small things in life more, and I've learned how to take care of those I love."

His new responsibilities have helped him grow as a person, giving him a deeper understanding of life and what truly matters.

As for his marriage, Karabo speaks with great respect and love for his wife. He’s been married for four years and sees marriage as a sacred bond.

“Marriage is meant to be between two people, and I cherish it,” he said. "I married to remain married, and I’m happy with my decision."

While many Idols winners have struggled to maintain their careers after the competition, Karabo has remained a steady and respected figure in the South African music scene. His humility and calm nature have kept him grounded, even as he continues to grow professionally.

“Many people come and go, but I’ve stayed true to myself,” Karabo said. “I’m happy to be one of the few who are still doing well.”
