After the gruelling theatre week of the group stage, solo auditions and unprecedented twists, here are your final 16. Twenty-two-year-old Niyaaz was the first to be announced as being in the top 16.
Sunday night’s episode was the final judgment of the 16 contestants all seeking to be the next South African Idol. Only 16 of them would join the live performances where Mzansi gets to judge their weekly performances until only one remain.
Darlene, 21, the freelance performer from Gauteng was also in and said she is looking forward to performing for the hundreds of people on the live shows.
Another outstanding performer King B, who got Unathi and Somizi on their feet after his final solo performance, also made the top 16. Randall was convinced after the solo performance that people will love him and Twitter certainly celebrated.
From sales lady to being in the top 16 is Bongiwe, 23, from Mpumalanga, her young singer says she looks up to Tasha Cobbs when it comes to singing.
