SINGER and songwriter Botlhale Phora has manifested his future through his music.
He wished to have a little family of his own and put it on a song.
In 2021, he released his R&B album called Sonoblomo.
The 27-year-old from Ga-Rankuwa, Tshwane, shot to fame after being a finalist on Idols SA in 2017.
Though he didn’t win, this didn’t stop him from pursuing his first love, which is making music.
On Ke Godile, the first single from Sonoblomo, he sang about his future partner and child.
This year it all came true and he has been blessed with a partner and their baby is now a month old.
"I was feeling lonely and wished I could have a family and manifested. I didn’t think it would happen so fast. God has been amazing," he said.

He said the birth of his daughter has energised and given him new hope.
"She is one of the most beautiful humans I have ever laid my eyes on. She is inspiring me to work hard for her and to sharpen my craft, soon I will get into the studio because every day I get an idea from her," he said.
"I feel so happy honestly, I am over the moon! I'd like to believe that it is indeed manifesting as I am living what used to be a dream to me. As they always say, you attract what you say or think. Anything that occupies your mind is what you attract," he said.
Botlhale said his album is about love.
"It is strictly love songs written in vernacular mainly in Tswana and Zulu. When I wrote the album it was during lockdown and I was single. I was writing about my beautiful imaginary girlfriend and how I wish to take things to the next step, which is getting married and having kids," he said.
He recently came back from London, UK, after scoring a five-month gig on a show which started in November 2022.
"I was doing musical theatre show called Mandela Musical, playing the role of the late son of the late Nelson Mandela - Makgatho Mandela," he said.
