From winners crowdsourcing funds for an album to judges in the negative spotlight, here’s why ‘Idols SA’ might have run its course.

Tyroline Franks and Xola Dlwati have joined the ranks of Kaya 959 to host new shows on the radio station as from 1 December.

In a statement released by Kaya 959 on Wednesday 17 November, the radio station has revealed that they have parted ways with Unathi Nkayi following ‘certain incidents’ that resulted in a ‘breakdown of trust’.

Tweeps slammed ‘Idols SA’ judge Unathi for being a ‘hypocrite’ for ‘messing up’ Sesotho after becoming frustrated at S’22kile’s pronunciation of Xhosa.

Unathi has ‘unfriended’ Somizi after the singer and ‘Idols SA’ judge was accused of double standards following her stance on R Kelly.

Thembi Seete was last night’s guest judge on ‘Idols SA’ and Mzansi loved it. Many of them called on her to be Somizi’s permanent replacement.

Randall Abrahams says the top 10 rounds of ‘Idols SA’ statistically has the most impact. With that being said, who made the cut?

Remember Ndoni from ‘Idols SA’ season 16? Unlike many who don’t make it, she is living her best life while rubbing shoulders with the who’s who of Mzansi!

Musician Lady Du appeared as a celebrity guest judge on ‘Idols SA’ last night and Mzansi seemingly loved it. A few die-hard Somizi fans were not impressed though…

The ‘Idols SA’ top 16 has been chosen and the competition is about to get as fierce as ever. Have your favourites been selected?

The SABC has refuted reports today (14 August) that claimed Somizi Mhlongo will be back on Metro FM on Monday (16 August).

Somizi will still appear on pre-recorded episodes of ‘Idols SA’, but will be taking ‘some time off’ until his personal matters are resolved.
