Singer and reality TV star Phelo Bala is starting a new chapter in his life after completing a six-month substance abuse recovery programme. On April 27, Phelo proudly received his certificate for completing his recovery programme. Now, he’s stepping into a new challenge — a 30-day body transformation journey.
Taking to Instagram, Phelo posted a powerful and honest photo of himself, sharing his feelings and excitement about the next step in his healing journey.
“This is me—raw, real, and ready to take on the next chapter of my transformation. Today marks the beginning of my 30-day body transformation challenge. It’s not just about physical change but about embracing discipline, pushing limits, and honouring the body God has blessed me with,” he wrote.
He added that this challenge is more than just getting fit — it’s about living with purpose.
“For me, this journey is a reflection of my commitment to health, wellness, and living with intention. It’s about showing up for myself every day, knowing that growth happens when we step out of our comfort zones.”
Phelo also shared some encouragement for others who are also working on themselves.
“If you’re on a similar path — whether it’s fitness, sobriety, faith, or self-discovery — know that you’re not alone. Let’s walk this road together, one day at a time. Stay tuned for updates, progress, and lessons along the way. Let’s inspire each other to be the best versions of ourselves!”
Fans first saw Phelo’s personal struggles with alcohol during season 2 of The Bala Family. His drinking caused problems with his music career and even with his family. In one emotional scene, he had a public meltdown at his uncle’s funeral while under the influence, leaving viewers concerned for his wellbeing.
His brothers, Zwai and Loyiso Bala, even tried to stage an intervention, but at the time, it didn’t work.
Now, things have turned around. Phelo has received many supportive messages from fans and followers, congratulating him for completing rehab and cheering him on as he begins his fitness and wellness journey.
Phelo Bala is ready to become the best version of himself — healthier, stronger, and more focused than ever.
