| Idols Season 15 Top 15 |
Lemme First acknowledge the fact that 2019 Idols contestants brought their guns and pipes to win it. In the past two weeks, Group One and Group Two gave their best performances to try and earn a spot in the Top 10. Like in any competition, someone
has to leave. In the tradition of Idols, this is where a significant cut is made. South Africa voted for their favourite, bringing them one step closer to be crowned Idols SA season 15 winner. Ku rough bafwethu!!
