The media personality, who was previously married to Moshe Ndiki, revealed that he began his 30-day body transformation challenge.

"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."

Bala said he is committed to completing this journey as he will be showing up for himself and stepping out of his comfort zone.

"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 Bala encouraged everybody who also committed themselves to a certain programme to continue, as they are not alone.

"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!"
