The fate of 16 Idols SA hopefuls now rests with viewers as the competition enters voting stages

By

Finally Idols SA season 16 Top 16 contestants were announced last night. What has been dubbed the final judgement over the years was delivered by the Idols judges, Unathi, Somizi and Randall to 31 hopefuls were all emotionally not ready for the news.

While 15 contestants, among them was DJ Zinhle’s favourite Matevhu, found out that it was the end of the road for them, 16 of them were put out of their misery when they were given the news that they will be going ahead for coming weeks to battle it out for the ultimate first prize. It is the reactions for me! The crying, the numbness, the gratitude and the disbelief all at once that makes this part of the competition interesting.

“This year’s competition has been an intense one for our contestants with all the changes they had to cope with in theatre week. The fate of the contestants now rests with the viewers at home, as they will rely on your votes to ensure that they make it to the next round, starting with the male contestants this coming Sunday,” says Nomsa Philiso, the Director for Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net.

Matevhu, who performed Jazmine Sullivan’s hit song I need you, was the first to go. “DJ Zinhle said she wants to do a song with you. That on its own is a kind of a win. The competition is very tough. It makes it hard for us to choose who goes through and who doesn’t. Unfortunately, this is the end of the road for you as far as far as Idols SA season 16 is concerned, Askies!” Somizi broke the news. 

An emotional Matevhu was disappointed but she had made room for this kind of setback. But not all was lost for her. “Obviously I feel sad, although I kind of expected it because of my performance. I forgot the lyrics. I’ll keep on pushing. The good thing is DJ Zinhle said she wants to do a song with me, whether I win or not. So, at least it is a good opportunity,” she elaborated.

Siyambongela uMatevhu Bafwethu. Hope Dj Zinhle lives up to her promise.  We'll be on the lookout for that track. 

Twenty year old Ntokozo was the first to make the top 16, followed by Zama - the competition’s youngest contestant this season - who appeared to be too nervous to face the judges. The judges had their doubts but, her group and solo performance were solid enough to convince the judges that the teenager was ready for the big stage.

“You have to want to win it. It’s not easy taking risks. But we want to take a risk on you. You are in,” Unathi delivered Zama’s final judgment. 

However, 15 people had to go home and 16 - eight ladies and eight gentlemen - are left to fight for the number one spot. The all boys Group A of the top 16 will kick-start the live performances next week Sunday. They will also be performing for your votes.

Gomora – the thrilling story of two worlds colliding on Mzansi Magic

For many South Africans it’s easy to imagine a setting where two different worlds exist side by side and it is almost normal for one family to live lavishly while the other is barely able to make ends meet. What is a bit more challenging to imagine however, is when an unfortunate series of events causes both families to collide in the most thrilling way – revealing a complex story of romance, social inequalities and prejudices (as well as a surprising romance) in Mzansi Magic’s fascinating new telenovela,  Gomora . For those in the know,  Gomora  is also the nickname of the famous and beloved Johannesburg Kasi, Alexandra. The hustle and bustle of the township and its colourful flavour is the vibrant home of the series, which explores the disparity between lower and upper-class members of our country. With the contrast between the two worlds brought to life through one of the most innovative filming styles. “Our customers are in for a real treat with  Gomora . It is a re
